[System configuration]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a lesson support system according to the first embodiment. A class support system 1 shown in FIG. 1 provides a class support service that supports classes through digital teaching materials.

  For example, as part of the class support service described above, the class support system 1 publishes on the electronic blackboard 20 an opinion board displaying a list of students' opinions regarding a certain task, and the teacher, students, and students cooperate with each other. Provide collaborative education support services that support work education. In the following, as an example of the opinion board, it is assumed that the students' opinions are displayed in a matrix form on the opinion board.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the lesson support system 1 accommodates a teacher terminal 10, an electronic blackboard 20, and student terminals 30A to 30C. Although FIG. 1 illustrates three student terminals, the class support system 1 can accommodate any number of student terminals. Below, when each apparatus of student terminal 30A-30C is named generically without distinction, it may describe as "student terminal 30".

  The teacher terminal 10 and the student terminal 30 are connected via the network 5 so that they can communicate with each other. The network 5 may be any type of communication network such as the Internet (Internet) as well as a local communication network such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and a VPN (Virtual Private Network), regardless of wired or wireless.

  The teacher terminal 10 is a terminal device used by a teacher. The “teacher” here refers to the person who teaches among the participants in the class. As an example, there are various teachers, but they may not necessarily be qualified persons with various teacher licenses.

  As an embodiment, a collaborative education support program for a teacher terminal that implements the collaborative education support service described above is installed in the teacher terminal 10 as package software or online software. As described above, by operating the collaborative education support program for teacher terminals on the processor of the teacher terminal 10, as an example, selection of assignments for implementing collaborative education, distribution of assignments to each student terminal 30, each student Functions such as a list of opinions returned from the terminal 30 can be realized.

  For example, the teacher terminal 10 can employ a tablet information processing terminal, a so-called tablet terminal. By adopting the tablet terminal as the teacher terminal 10 in this way, the teacher terminal 10 can accept various instruction operations via a touch pen or fingers. In addition, the teacher terminal 10 can accept handwritten input such as a character string or a mark on the individual opinion screen on which one opinion is selectively enlarged and displayed among the plurality of opinions displayed on the opinion board. In the following, inputting a handwritten character string or mark to the touch panel with a touch pen or finger is referred to as “handwriting input”, and character string or mark that the touch panel accepts via handwriting input is referred to as “mark description”. There is a case.

  The electronic blackboard 20 is a device that displays an image output from a predetermined projector or the like.

  As an embodiment, an interactive whiteboard can be adopted for the electronic blackboard 20. A projector (not shown) is connected to the electronic blackboard 20. An image instructed by the teacher terminal 10 is projected onto the electronic blackboard 20 by the projector. In this way, the same image can be displayed between the teacher terminal 10 and the electronic blackboard 20. Needless to say, the electronic blackboard 20 may be any of a unit type, a board type, and an integrated type.

  The student terminal 30 is a terminal device used by students. The term “student” here refers to the person on the side of the class who is being taught. An example is a variety of students, but not necessarily students.

  As an embodiment, the student terminal 30 is installed with a collaborative education support program for student terminals. By operating such a collaborative education support program for student terminals on the processor of the student terminal 30, as an example, reception of assignments from the teacher terminal 10, input of answers to assignments, return of assignments to the teacher terminal 10, etc. Can be realized.

  For example, a tablet terminal can be adopted as the student terminal 30 as with the teacher terminal 10 described above. By adopting such a tablet terminal, the student terminal 30 can accept various instruction operations for the collaborative education support program via a touch pen or fingers.

  In addition, although a present Example illustrates the case where the teacher terminal 10 is functioned as a server apparatus between the teacher terminal 10 and the student terminal 30, while the student terminal 30 is functioned as a client terminal, The configuration is not limited to this. For example, a server device may be installed separately from the teacher terminal 10 to construct a client server system that accommodates both the teacher terminal 10 and the student terminal 30 as client terminals.

  In this embodiment, a case where the teacher terminal 10 and the student terminal 30 are implemented as tablet terminals is illustrated, but the implementation form of the teacher terminal 10 and the student terminal 30 is not limited to this. For example, the teacher terminal 10 and the student terminal 30 may be implemented as a mobile terminal device including a mobile communication terminal such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, or a PHS (Personal Handyphone System). Further, it may be implemented as a stationary information processing apparatus such as a personal computer or a notebook personal computer.

[Configuration of teacher terminal 10]
Subsequently, a functional configuration of the teacher terminal 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the teacher terminal 10 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the teacher terminal 10 includes a touch panel 11, a communication I / F (InterFace) unit 12, a storage unit 13, and a control unit 15.

  The teacher terminal 10 may include various functional units included in a known computer in addition to the functional units illustrated in FIG. For example, when the teacher terminal 10 is implemented as a tablet terminal, the teacher terminal 10 may further include a motion sensor such as an acceleration sensor or an angular velocity sensor. Further, when the teacher terminal 10 is implemented as a mobile communication terminal, the teacher terminal 10 may further include functional units such as an antenna and a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver. Note that FIG. 2 illustrates, as an example, functional units when the teacher terminal 10 is implemented as a tablet terminal. However, when the teacher terminal 10 is implemented as a stationary terminal, a keyboard, a mouse, and a display are illustrated. It is good also as having input / output devices, such as.

  In FIG. 2, a touch panel 11 is a displayable and inputable device. As one aspect regarding display, the touch panel 11 displays an image output by an OS (Operating System) or an application program, including a collaborative education support program executed on the teacher terminal 10. As one aspect related to input, the touch panel 11 accepts touch operations such as tap, flick, sweep, pinch-in, and pinch-out performed on the screen of the touch panel 11, including handwritten input using a touch pen or fingers. Here, the touch panel 11 is illustrated as an input device for inputting an instruction to the teacher terminal 10, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the touch panel 11 further includes a physical key that realizes complementary input with the touch panel 11. It doesn't matter.

  The communication I / F unit 12 is an interface that performs communication control with other devices such as the electronic blackboard 20 and the student terminal 30. As an aspect of the communication I / F unit 12, a network interface card such as a LAN card can be employed. For example, the communication I / F unit 12 distributes an assignment for a collaborative lesson to the student terminal 30 or receives an answer to the assignment, such as a pros and cons or an opinion, from the student terminal 30. Further, the communication I / F unit 12 transmits an image to be displayed on the electronic blackboard 20, for example, an opinion board to the electronic blackboard 20, or receives an operation received on the electronic blackboard 20 from the electronic blackboard 20.

  The storage unit 13 is a storage device that stores various programs such as an OS (Operating System) executed by the control unit 15 and a class support program. As one aspect of the storage unit 13, a storage device such as a semiconductor memory element such as a flash memory, a hard disk, or an optical disk can be cited. The storage unit 13 is not limited to the type of storage device described above, and may be a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a ROM (Read Only Memory).

  The storage unit 13 stores student data 13a, assignment data 13b, answer data 13c, handwritten input data 13d, and supplementary area data 13e as an example of data used in the program executed by the control unit 15. . In addition to the student data 13a, assignment data 13b, answer data 13c, handwritten input data 13d, and supplementary writing area data 13e, other electronic data such as drill teaching materials aiming at the development of memory and concentration can be stored together. it can.

  Among these, the student data 13a is data relating to students.

  As an embodiment, data in which items such as a student ID (IDentifier), a student name, and a student terminal IP address are associated can be adopted as the student data 13a. Here, “student ID” refers to identification information for identifying a student participating in a class. The “student name” refers to the student's last name. The “student terminal IP address” refers to the IP address of each student terminal 30.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the student data 13a. FIG. 3 shows student IDs, student names, and student terminal IP addresses for eight students. For example, in the example of the first record shown in FIG. 3, the student name identified by the student ID “1001” is “Tanaka”, and the IP address of the student terminal used by Tanaka is “XX.YY. It means "ZZ.A1". The other second and subsequent records also have different values but have the same meaning. Although FIG. 3 illustrates a case where there are eight student entries, the number of entries may be any number. If the students are classified into classes, the student ID, student name, and student terminal IP address can be managed for each class.

  The assignment data 13b is data relating to the assignment.

  As an embodiment, the task data 13b can employ data in which items such as a task ID, a task content, and a response time limit are associated. The “task ID” here refers to identification information for identifying a task given to a student in a class such as a collaborative class. The “task content” refers to the content of the task, and includes, for example, an agenda for discussion between teachers and students and between students. The “response time limit” refers to a time limit imposed when a student answers an assignment. The assignment data 13b may be stored in advance as support teaching materials, or may be registered as assignments input by the teacher through the teacher terminal 10.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the task data 13b. In the example of the first record shown in FIG. 4, the content of the task identified by the task ID “0001” is “What do you think about abortion of a minor?” It means that the time to do is within 20 minutes. In the example of the second record shown in FIG. 4, the content of the task identified by the task ID “0002” is “What do you think about the acceptance of rubble?” It means that the time to do is within 30 minutes. The other third and subsequent records also have different values but have the same meaning.

  The answer data 13c is data related to the answer to the problem.

  As one embodiment, data in which items such as a student ID, approval / disapproval, opinion contents, and opinion display area coordinates are associated can be adopted as the answer data 13c. Here, “pros and cons” refers to the selection result of whether the student is in favor or against the assignment. The “opinion content” refers to the content of the student's assertions and ideas about the task, and includes, for example, reasons for approval and disapproval and approaches to the task. The “opinion display area coordinates” refers to the coordinates of the area where the student's opinion is displayed on the opinion board. For example, when the area where the student's opinion is displayed is rectangular, the four vertices “ It can be represented by the coordinates of “upper left”, “lower left”, “upper right” and “lower right”. Hereinafter, an area in which one opinion is displayed on the opinion board may be referred to as a “display area”. Although the case where the display area is defined by four vertices is illustrated here, the display area can be defined by any other method. For example, the display area can be defined by one vertex or the center of gravity and the height and width of the area.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the answer data 13c. FIG. 5 shows a case where the opinions of the eight students shown in FIG. 3 are displayed on the opinion board. FIG. 5 illustrates a case where a coordinate system having the origin at the lower left vertex of the opinion board is adopted as an example of the coordinate system. In the example shown in FIG. 5, an opinion board is divided into eight equal parts, two vertically and four horizontally, so that one area is displayed on the opinion board in the size of “30” and “40”. The That is, from the left of the opinion board, each opinion is displayed in the order of Tanaka area, Yamada area, Suzuki area, Yamamoto area, and below Tanaka's opinion, Kuroda's opinion, Yamada's opinion Means that Sato's opinion and Yamamoto's opinion are displayed under Honda's opinion and Suzuki's opinion. Furthermore, in the example of FIG. 5, it means that students other than Honda have expressed their support for accepting rubble, and Honda has expressed their opposition to accepting rubble.

  Here, it is assumed that the display area of each student on the opinion board is determined in advance, that is, items other than the pros and cons and the opinion content are initially set before the answer is obtained. It is possible to dynamically change which student's opinion is displayed in the area. For example, opinions can be displayed side by side according to approval or disapproval of the assignment, opinions can be displayed in order in which the answers are accepted, or opinions can be displayed in the order specified by the teacher terminal 10.

  The handwritten input data 13d is data related to handwritten input.

  As one embodiment, data in which items such as a description ID, a student ID, and a trajectory are associated can be employed as the handwritten input data 13d. The “description ID” here refers to identification information for identifying a one-stroke mark description drawn by handwriting input. Such “one-stroke writing” refers to a series of trajectories detected from when the handwritten input is detected on the touch panel 11 until the handwritten input is not detected. The “trajectory” refers to the locus of the position of handwritten input that forms a one-stroke handwritten mark description. For example, the coordinates of the start point, the relay point, and the end point of the one-stroke handwriting are used as an example of the position. . Furthermore, the “student ID” referred to here is the same as that described in the student data 13a, but the student ID is associated with the description ID here by combining the mark description by handwriting input and each display area of the opinion board. This is for associating. That is, the student and the display area of the student have a one-to-one correspondence with each other, and the student ID registered here can be used to identify the display area on the opinion board.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the handwritten input data 13d. FIG. 6 shows a mark description related to handwritten input received via the touch panel 11 on the opinion board on which the opinions of the students are displayed in a list.

  For example, in the example of the record with the description ID “M1” shown in FIG. 6, handwritten input starts at the start point (27, 41), relay point (26, 42), relay point (25, 43),. This means that the mark description ends with the end point (42, 38).

  On the other hand, as shown in the answer data 13c shown in FIG. 5, the display area of Tanaka's opinion has the top corners of the upper left (0, 60), lower left (0, 30), upper right (40, 60) and lower right ( 40, 30). From this, it can be seen that the mark description of the description ID “M1”, specifically, the last locus (42, 38) protrudes from the adjacent Yamada opinion display area.

  Thus, even the mark description of the description ID “M1” that protrudes in the Yamada opinion display area can be associated with the Tanaka opinion display area. In this case, on the display of the opinion board, it may be difficult to determine whether the mark description with the description ID “M1” is the mark description for the opinion of Tanaka or the mark description for the opinion of Yamada.

  This is because the part that did not fit in Tanaka's opinion (for example, the coordinates of (47, 38)) is not displayed in the display area of Yamada's opinion. This problem can be solved by displaying in a later-described supplementary area used to supplement the display area. Such a supplementary writing area is an example of a new handwriting input area displayed outside a specific display area.

  As described above, the mark description included in the handwritten input data 13d does not necessarily fall within the display area of the student ID associated with the description ID, and a part of the mark description is allowed to protrude into other display areas. .

  The supplementary area data 13e is data relating to a supplementary area used for supplementary writing beyond the display area during handwriting input.

  As one embodiment, the supplementary note area data 13e can employ data in which a student ID, coordinates of the supplementary note area, thumbnail images, and the like are associated. The “student ID” here is the same as that described in the student data 13a, but the student ID is used here to associate the supplementary writing area and the display area. Further, the above-mentioned “coordinates of the supplementary area” can be expressed by coordinates of the four vertices “upper left”, “lower left”, “upper right” and “lower right” of the area when the supplementary area is rectangular, for example. . Here, the case where the display area is defined by four vertices is illustrated, but the supplementary note area can also be defined by any other method. For example, the supplementary writing area can be defined by one vertex or the center of gravity and the height and width of the area. The “thumbnail image” refers to a reduced image of the image of the mark description entered in the supplementary note area. For example, when a display area other than the display area associated with the supplementary note area is selected on the opinion board, the thumbnail image includes a margin in the display area associated with the supplementary note area, for example, the student's It can be used to display an opinion or a portion where no other mark description is displayed (240 in FIG. 17). As an example, such a thumbnail image can store a binary file.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the supplementary note area data 13e. In FIG. 7, one supplementary note area associated with the display area of Tanaka's opinion is extracted and illustrated, but the number of supplementary note areas that can be set in one display area is not limited to one, and a plurality of supplementary note areas are displayed. It can also be set. In the example shown in FIG. 7, when the display area of Tanaka's opinion is being selected on the opinion board, upper left (40, 50), lower left (40, 30), upper right (60, 50), and lower right (60, 30) means that a supplementary note area with the coordinates of the four corners is displayed. It also means that when an opinion display area other than Tanaka is selected on the opinion board, a thumbnail image in which the mark description of “human help” is reduced is displayed in the margin in the Tanaka opinion display area. (See FIG. 17).

  3 to 7 exemplify cases where data is stored in a table format, the data may be stored in a format such as an object or XML (Extensible Markup Language).

  The control unit 15 has an internal memory for storing programs defining various processing procedures and control data, and executes various processes using these. As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 15 includes an answer receiving unit 15a, a recording unit 15b, a supplementary area setting unit 15c, and a display control unit 15d.

  The answer receiving unit 15a is a processing unit that receives a student's answer to a certain task.

  As one embodiment, the answer reception unit 15a can cause the teacher terminal 10 to determine an assignment to be distributed to the student terminal 30. For example, the answer reception unit 15 a activates the process when an item for assignment selection is selected from the menu screen displayed on the touch panel 11. That is, the answer reception unit 15a causes the touch panel 11 to display an assignment selection screen including assignment ID options and assignment transmission buttons for requesting assignment distribution.

  Then, when the assignment transmission button is pressed after the assignment ID is selected on the assignment selection screen, the answer reception unit 15a sets the assignment ID that has been selected on the assignment selection screen among the assignment contents included in the assignment data 13b. An answer screen including the corresponding task content is generated. Subsequently, the answer receiving unit 15 a transmits the previously generated answer screen to the student terminal 30. For example, the answer reception unit 15a can generate answer screen data provided with an input form for entering answers such as approval or disapproval of an assignment or an opinion along with the display of the contents of the assignment, and can transmit it to the student terminal 30. Although the case where the teacher terminal 10 generates an answer screen is illustrated here, the answer receiving unit 15a transmits the contents of the assignment, and the collaborative education support program for the student terminal that is executed on the student terminal 30 is an issue. It is also possible to generate an answer screen using the contents.

  Then, the answer reception unit 15a acquires the answer time limit associated with the task ID that has been selected on the task selection screen among the answer time limits included in the task data 13b. Thereafter, when the answer receiving unit 15a receives approval or disapproval of the assignment entered in the answer screen from the student terminal 30 and an opinion, the student corresponding to the IP address of the student terminal 30 among the records included in the answer data 13c. Pros and cons and opinions are registered in the ID record. Then, the answer reception unit 15a waits for the approval / disapproval of the assignment and the opinion to be transmitted from the student terminal 30 to the teacher terminal 10 until the response time limit has elapsed, and when the approval / disapproval of the assignment and the opinion are received. The process of registering in the answer data 13c is repeatedly executed.

  The recording unit 15b is a processing unit that records handwritten input.

  As an embodiment, the recording unit 15 b records a mark description by handwriting input in a state where any student's opinion is selected from the opinion boards displayed on the touch panel 11. For example, the mark description by handwriting input can be executed in the background such as an opinion board, mark description by handwriting input, and display of a supplementary writing area.

  Specifically, the recording unit 15 b waits for a handwritten input to be detected on the touch panel 11. At this time, when handwritten input is detected on the touch panel 11, it can be estimated that the starting point of one stroke writing was received. In this case, the recording unit 15b assigns a description ID. For example, the recording unit 15b adds the description ID assigned the number to the handwritten input data 13d stored in the storage unit 13. After that, the recording unit 15b detects the student ID and the handwritten input corresponding to the currently selected opinion display area in association with the description ID numbered this time among the description IDs included in the handwritten input data 13d. Record the coordinates of the starting point. And the recording part 15b continues the process which adds and records the coordinate of a handwriting input, ie, a relay point, and an end point, until a handwriting input is no longer detected on the touch panel 11. FIG. As a result, a series of handwritten input loci detected from when the handwritten input is detected on the touch panel 11 until the handwritten input is not detected, that is, a one-stroke mark description is recorded in the handwritten input data 13d. Become.

  The supplementary note area setting unit 15c is a processing unit that sets a supplementary note area to be displayed over the display region of the opinion that is currently selected among the opinions included in the opinion board. Hereinafter, an opinion display area that has received a selection on the opinion board may be referred to as a “selected area” from the viewpoint of distinguishing it from an opinion display area that has not received another selection. Furthermore, there are cases where “opinion opinion” is described from the viewpoint of distinguishing an opinion that has received a selection on an opinion board from an opinion that has not received another selection. In the following, a display area that is adjacent to the selected display area in the vertical and horizontal directions may be referred to as an “adjacent area”.

  As an embodiment, each time the handwritten input data 13d is updated, the supplementary note area setting unit 15c determines whether or not the coordinates during handwriting input are outside the selection area. At this time, when the coordinates during the handwriting input are outside the selection area, it can be detected that the position of the handwriting input protrudes from the selection area to the adjacent area. In this case, the supplementary note area setting unit 15c determines whether or not a supplementary note supplementary note area including coordinates of handwritten input is not set in the supplementary note area data 13e. Then, when the supplementary note area of the selected opinion is not set in the supplementary note area data 13e, the supplementary note area setting unit 15c executes setting registration of the supplementary note area as follows.

  8 and 9 are diagrams illustrating an example of the selection area. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of setting data for the supplementary writing area. FIG. 8 shows an example in which the mark description by handwriting input protrudes from the selection area, while FIG. 9 shows an example in which the mark description by handwriting input does not protrude from the selection area. 8 illustrates the display area of Tanaka's opinion as the selection area 60. Among the mark descriptions included in the handwritten input data 13d illustrated in FIG. 6, the mark description of the description ID “M1” is illustrated in FIG. The case where the character string “good” of the cursive script in the middle is input by handwriting is shown.

  In both FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, a cursive character string “good” is described by handwriting input. Among these, in the case of the description M1 shown in FIG. 8, a part of “d” of the last cursive character in the character string “good” of cursive character protrudes from the selection area 60, but is shown in FIG. In the case of the description m 1, the cursive character string “good” is all within the selection area 70. In these cases, the supplementary area setting unit 15c sets the supplementary area 61 by focusing on the case of FIG. When the supplementary area 61 is set as in the example of FIG. 8, supplementary area setting data stored in an internal memory (not shown) is used as an example.

  Here, when the setting data shown in FIG. 10 is used for setting the supplementary area, a rectangle formed with 20 dots on one side, in this case “square”, is adopted as an example of the shape of the supplementary area. Thus, when defining the size of the supplementary area, the size of the supplementary area is set to a size smaller than the size of the adjacent area. This is to prevent the adjacent area from being covered with the supplementary area when the supplementary area is displayed over the adjacent area, so that the portion protruding from the supplementary area can be visually recognized.

  Under such settings, the supplementary area setting unit 15c sets and registers in the supplementary area data 13e the coordinates of the supplementary area that abuts on the side of the outer frame of the selection area that is in the direction protruding from the selection area. Hereinafter, the direction in which the handwriting input protrudes from the selection area may be referred to as “excess direction”.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 8, a part of the last cursive character “d” in the cursive character string “good” protrudes to the adjacent area on the right side of the selection area. In this case, the supplementary area setting unit 15c arranges squares of 20 dots vertically and 20 dots horizontally along the right side of the side connecting the upper right vertex and the lower right vertex among the four sides of the selection area. In addition, the supplementary area setting unit 15c has four corners of the square, for example, upper left (40, 50), lower left (40, 30), upper right (60, 50) and lower right (60, 50) shown in FIG. 30) is additionally registered in the supplementary note area data 13e in association with the student ID corresponding to the selected area. In the example of FIG. 8, the case where a square base is set at a position aligned with the base of the selected area is illustrated, but a square is set at a position where the center of gravity of each area is aligned. Alternatively, the upper side of the square may be set at a position aligned with the upper side of the selection area.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the display control unit 15 d is a processing unit that executes display control on the touch panel 11 and the electronic blackboard 20.

  As one aspect, the display control unit 15d reads the response data 13c stored in the storage unit 13 when the response time limit has elapsed. After that, the display control unit 15d causes the touch panel 11 and the electronic blackboard 20 to display the approval and disapproval and the opinion according to the opinion display area coordinates set in the record for each record included in the answer data 13c. As a result, on the touch panel 11 and the electronic blackboard 20, an opinion board in which each student's approval and disapproval and opinions regarding the assignment are listed in a matrix is displayed.

  After the display of the opinion board, when the selection of the opinion is received on the opinion board displayed on the touch panel 11, the display control unit 15d highlights the display area that has received the selection of the opinion, that is, the selection area. For example, the display control unit 15d can realize the above-described highlight display by displaying the outer frame of the selection area, that is, the rectangular outer frame with a thicker line than the outer frames of the other display areas. In addition, highlighting may be realized by performing reverse display, raising the luminance value of the selected area over other display areas, or changing the display color. Thereby, the visibility of the selected area is improved.

  Subsequently, the display control unit 15d searches the supplementary note area data 13e to determine whether or not a supplementary area has already been set in the selected area by searching whether or not there is an entry for the student ID corresponding to the selected area. judge. At this time, if the supplementary area has already been set in the selection area, the thumbnail image of the supplementary area is displayed in the selection area as the selection is switched to another display area when it was the selection area before. Has been. In this case, the display control unit 15d deletes the thumbnail image in the selection area. Then, the supplementary area setting unit 15c displays the supplementary area over the adjacent area in accordance with the coordinates of the supplementary area corresponding to the student ID of the selected area among the supplementary areas included in the supplementary area data 13e. Then, the display control unit 15d selects the mark description in the selection area according to the coordinates of the locus included in the description ID associated with the student ID in the selection area among the description IDs included in the handwritten input data 13d. Overlay on top of the display.

  As another aspect, the display control unit 15d performs the following process each time the handwritten input data 13d is updated. For example, when the coordinates of the handwritten input are outside the selection area and the supplementary comment area of the selected opinion including the coordinates of the handwritten input is not set in the supplementary area data 13e, the supplementary area is supplemented by the supplementary area setting unit 15c. Set to area data 13e. In this case, the display control unit 15d displays the supplementary area on the adjacent area according to the coordinates of the supplementary area set and registered in the supplementary area data 13e. After that, the display control unit 15d draws the mark description by handwriting input on the supplementary writing area according to the coordinates of the locus corresponding to the student ID of the selection area among the mark descriptions included in the handwriting input data 13d. As a result, the mark description to the selected area is displayed on the supplementary area in the state where the supplementary area is drawn out and displayed on the adjacent area along the protruding direction of the handwritten input, and as a result, the mark entered in the selected opinion by handwriting The possibility that the description is misunderstood as a mark description in an adjacent area can be reduced.

  On the other hand, if the coordinates of the handwritten input are outside the selection area, but the supplementary comment area of the selected opinion including the coordinates of the handwritten input has already been set in the supplementary area data 13e, the display control unit 15d displays the mark description by handwriting input. Draw on the supplementary area already displayed on the adjacent area.

  In addition, when the coordinates of handwriting input are within the selection area, the display control unit 15d performs mark description by handwriting input according to the coordinates of the locus corresponding to the student ID of the selection area among the mark descriptions included in the handwriting input data 13d. Draw over the selected area. If the student's approval / disapproval or opinion is displayed and the mark description by handwriting input overlaps with the mark description by handwriting input, the mark description by handwriting input is higher. As a result of the display, the mark description by handwriting input can be visually recognized.

  As a further aspect, the display control unit 15d performs the following processing when a selection of another opinion is received on the opinion board displayed on the touch panel 11, that is, when another display area is selected. Run. That is, the display control unit 15d generates a thumbnail image from the image of the mark description displayed in the supplementary note area, and then registers the thumbnail image in the supplementary note area data 13e. In addition, the display control unit 15d displays a thumbnail image in a blank area where no other display exists in the original display area selected before the other display area is selected. At this time, when the supplementary note area associated with the student ID of the original display area is displayed, the display control unit 15d hides the supplementary note area. As a result, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the mark description in the display area is displayed outside the other display areas. As a result, as an example, it is possible to suppress the mark description for the display area from being mixed with the approval and disapproval of the other display areas, the opinion, and the mark description, and obscuring the mark description of which display area.

  Note that the display control unit 15d causes the touch panel 11 to display the opinion board including a GUI (Graphical User Interface) of an end button for ending the display of the opinion board. When the end button is pressed, the display related to the subject is ended.

  Moreover, although the case where the same content is mutually displayed by synchronizing the display of the touch panel 11 and the electronic blackboard 20 was illustrated here, the content displayed on the touch panel 11 and the electronic blackboard 20 may be different from each other.

  The answer receiving unit 15a, the recording unit 15b, the supplementary area setting unit 15c, and the display control unit 15d can be realized by causing a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), or the like to execute a display control program. . Each functional unit described above can also be realized by a hard wired logic such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a field programmable gate array (FPGA).

[Specific example of handwriting update]
Next, a specific example of the display of the supplementary note area will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of an assignment selection screen. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of an answer screen. 13-17 is a figure which shows an example of an opinion board.

  For example, when assignment selection is accepted from a menu screen displayed on the touch panel 11, an assignment selection screen 200 shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the touch panel 11. This assignment selection screen 200 is generated from the assignment data 13b shown in FIG. 4 as an example. As shown in FIG. 11, the assignment selection screen 200 displays a list of assignment IDs and assignment contents included in the assignment data 13 b shown in FIG. 4, and a selection button for selecting assignments to be distributed to the student terminal 30. It is displayed on the left side of the assignment ID.

  The task transmission button 200A is pressed down in a state in which the check box of the selection button is checked, that is, in the example illustrated, the check box of the task ID “0002” is checked. In this case, an answer screen for answering the task with the checked task ID “0002” is distributed from the teacher terminal 10 to the student terminals 30A to 30C. On the other hand, when the cancel button 200B is pressed, the assignment is returned to the menu screen without distributing the assignment to the student terminal 30. In addition, although the case where only the task ID “0002” is selected is illustrated here, a plurality of tasks may be selected at a time.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the answer screen 210 includes the task content of the task ID “0002” to be answered by the student. In addition, check boxes 210A and 210B for inputting approval / disapproval of the assignment, an input form 210C for inputting an opinion on the assignment, a transmission button 210D for transmitting an answer to the teacher terminal 10, and an opinion for clearing the opinion And a clear button 210E. Under these GUIs, students can express their approval for the task by checking the check box 210A for approval, or they can express their disagreement for the task by checking the check box 210B for the opposite. Furthermore, the student can express an opinion such as a reason for or against by inputting a text of a character string into the input form 210C in the opinion column. As described above, when either the check box 210A or 210B is checked and the send button 210D is pressed while the text string is entered in the input form 210C in the opinion column, the approval / disapproval and the opinion are received from the student terminal 30. Is returned to the teacher terminal 10. When the opinion clear button 210E is pressed, it is possible to clear the approval / disapproval and the input of the opinion input so far, and input again from the beginning.

  When answers to the assignment are collected from the student terminal 30 in this way, an opinion board shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the touch panel 11 and the electronic blackboard 20. In the opinion board 220 shown in FIG. 13, each student's opinion on the assignment with the assignment ID “0002” is displayed in a matrix form according to the answer data 13 c shown in FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 13, on the opinion board 220, the area where one opinion is displayed is 30 dots vertically and 40 dots horizontally, and the opinions of each student are displayed in a 2 × 4 matrix. That is, in the upper part of the opinion board 220, opinions are displayed in the order of Tanaka, Yamada, Suzuki, and Yamamoto from the upper left to the upper right, and in the lower part of the opinion board 220, Mr. Kuroda from the lower left to the lower right, Opinions are displayed in the order of Honda, Sato, and Asai. In the opinion board 220, one opinion can be individually selected by touching the opinions of the eight students with a touch pen or fingers. When the end button 220A provided at the lower right of the opinion board 220 is pressed, the collaborative education related to the subject ends and the menu screen returns.

  After selection of an opinion on the opinion board 220 after the opinion board 220 is displayed, the selection area is highlighted. For example, when Tanaka's opinion is selected among the opinions shown on the opinion board 220, the outer frame in which Tanaka's opinion is displayed is thicker than the outer frames of other opinions, as shown in FIG. The highlighted display is realized by being displayed. In this way, when the mark description of the description ID “M1” shown in FIG. 6 is input by handwriting with Mr. Tanaka's opinion selected, as shown in FIG. 15, the cursive character of the description M1 A part of the last English letter “d” in the column “good” protrudes from Tanaka's opinion display area. In this case, the supplementary text area 61 is above the Yamada-san's opinion display area with the supplementary text area 61 being pulled out in the direction in which the cursive character string “good” of the description M1 protrudes from the Tanaka-san's opinion-displaying area. Overlaid on the screen.

  By displaying the supplementary note area 61, the teacher can input a comment or a mark on the supplementary note area 61 by hand over the display area of Mr. Tanaka's opinion. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the teacher can input by hand the mark description of the description ID “M2” to the description ID “Mn” shown in FIG. Thus, as a result of handwriting input exceeding the limit of the selection area, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the teacher cannot input the mark description by handwriting.

  Also, when the display area of Mr. Yamada's opinion is selected while the supplementary area 61 of Mr. Tanaka's opinion is displayed, the display area of Mr. Yamada's opinion is highlighted in the foreground as shown in FIG. Is displayed. As a result, the supplementary note area 61 is hidden in the display area of Mr. Yamada's opinion. Thus, by hiding the display of the supplementary area other than the selected area, it is possible to suppress the supplementary area from reducing the visibility of the adjacent area when not selected. As a result, a constrained space can be used effectively. Further, a thumbnail image 240 obtained by reducing the image of the character string “human help” displayed in the supplementary note area 61 is displayed in a blank portion of the display area of Mr. Tanaka's opinion. By displaying the thumbnail image 240, teachers and students who browse the touch panel 11 and the electronic blackboard 20 can grasp the presence / absence of the supplementary area of Mr. Tanaka's opinion and the content of the mark description in the supplementary area. Note that the setting of the margin part where the thumbnail image 240 is displayed can be set by dividing the display area into several parts as shown in FIG. 22 and whether or not there are opinions and mark descriptions.

[Process flow]
Next, the process flow of the teacher terminal 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. Here, (1) class support processing and (2) recording processing executed by the teacher terminal 10 will be described.

(1) Class Support Processing FIGS. 18 and 19 are flowcharts illustrating the procedure of class support processing according to the first embodiment. As an example, this process is executed when the assignment distribution is accepted from the menu screen displayed on the touch panel 11.

  As illustrated in FIG. 18, the answer reception unit 15 a causes the touch panel 11 to display a task selection screen including a task ID option, a task transmission button for requesting task distribution, and the like (step S <b> 101).

  When the assignment transmission button is pressed after the assignment ID is selected on the assignment selection screen (Yes in step S102), the answer reception unit 15a executes the following process. That is, the answer receiving unit 15a generates an answer screen including the task content corresponding to the task ID received from the task selection screen among the task contents included in the task data 13b (step S103). Subsequently, the answer receiving unit 15a transmits the answer screen generated in step S103 to the student terminal 30 (step S104).

  In addition, the answer receiving unit 15a acquires a response time limit associated with the task ID that has been selected on the task selection screen among the response time limits included in the task data 13b (step S105).

  Thereafter, when the pros and cons of the assignment entered in the answer screen and an opinion are received from the student terminal 30 (Yes in step S106), the answer accepting unit 15a executes the following process. That is, the answer reception unit 15a registers the approval and disapproval in the record of the student ID corresponding to the IP address of the student terminal 30 among the records included in the answer data 13c (step S107).

  Then, until the response time limit has passed (No in step S108), the process waits for the approval and disapproval of the assignment to be transmitted from the student terminal 30 to the teacher terminal 10 (step S106), and receives the approval and disapproval of the assignment and the opinion. In the case (step S106 Yes), the process (step S107) for registering in the answer data 13c is repeatedly executed.

  Thereafter, when the response time limit has elapsed (Yes in step S108), the display control unit 15d displays the approval and disapproval and the opinion according to the opinion display area coordinates set in the record for each record included in the response data 13c, and the electronic blackboard. 20 is displayed. As a result, an opinion board in which the opinions of the students are listed in a matrix is displayed (step S109). In addition, when an ending operation is performed without selecting an opinion (No in step S110 and step S111), the process ends as it is.

  Then, when selection of an opinion is received on the opinion board displayed on the touch panel 11 (step S110 Yes), the display control unit 15d highlights the selection area as shown in FIG. 14 (step S112).

  Subsequently, the display control unit 15d searches the supplementary note area data 13e to determine whether or not a supplementary area has already been set in the selected area by searching whether or not there is an entry for the student ID corresponding to the selected area. Determination is made (step S113). If the supplementary area is not set in the selected area (No in step S113), the processes in steps S114 to S115 described below are skipped, and the process in step S116 is executed.

  At this time, if a supplementary area has already been set in the selection area (Yes in step S113), the selection area is replaced with another display area when the selection area has been previously selected. A thumbnail image is displayed. In this case, the display control unit 15d deletes the thumbnail image in the selection area (step S114).

  Then, the supplementary area setting unit 15c displays the supplementary area on the adjacent area according to the coordinates of the supplementary area corresponding to the student ID of the selected area among the supplementary areas included in the supplementary area data 13e (step S115).

  Then, the display control unit 15d selects the mark description in the selection area according to the coordinates of the locus included in the description ID associated with the student ID in the selection area among the description IDs included in the handwritten input data 13d. (Step S116).

  Thereafter, when the handwritten input data 13d is updated (step S117 Yes), the supplementary writing area setting unit 15c determines whether or not the coordinates during the handwriting input are outside the selection area (step S118). If handwritten input data 13d has not been updated (No at step S117), the process proceeds to step S125.

  At this time, if the coordinates during the handwriting input are outside the selection area (Yes in step S118), it can be detected that the position of the handwriting input protrudes from the selection area to the adjacent area. In this case, the supplementary note area setting unit 15c determines whether or not the supplementary note supplementary area including the coordinates of the handwritten input is not set in the supplementary note area data 13e (step S119).

  When the supplementary note area of the selected opinion is not set in the supplementary note area data 13e (Yes in step S119), the supplementary note area setting unit 15c specifies the direction in which the handwritten input protrudes from the selected area (step S120). After that, the supplementary area setting unit 15c sets and registers the coordinates of the supplementary area that abuts the side in the protruding direction of the handwritten input among the sides of the outer frame of the selection area in the supplementary area data 13e (step S121).

  Subsequently, the display control unit 15d displays the supplementary area over the adjacent area in accordance with the coordinates of the supplementary area set and registered in step S121 (step S122).

  On the other hand, if the supplementary note area of the selected opinion including the coordinates of the handwritten input is already set in the supplementary note area data 13e (No in step S119), the display control unit 15d displays the mark description by the handwritten input already displayed on the adjacent area. Drawing on the area (step S123).

  When the coordinates of handwriting input are within the selection area (No at step S118), the display control unit 15d performs handwriting input according to the coordinates of the locus corresponding to the student ID of the selection area among the mark descriptions included in the handwriting input data 13d. The mark description is drawn on the selected area (step S124).

  Thereafter, when the selection of another opinion is received on the opinion board displayed on the touch panel 11 (step S125 Yes), the display control unit 15d executes the following process. That is, the display control unit 15d generates a thumbnail image from the image of the mark description displayed in the supplementary note area, and registers the thumbnail image in the supplementary note area data 13e (step S126).

  In addition, the display control unit 15d displays a thumbnail image in a blank area where no other display exists in the original display area selected before the other display area is selected in step S125 (step S127). ). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S112 described above, and the subsequent processes are repeated from the process of step S112.

  And when selection of another opinion is not received (Step S125 No), display control part 15d judges whether termination operation was performed on an opinion board (Step S128). At this time, if the end operation has not been performed (No in step S128), the process returns to the process in step S117, and the subsequent processes are repeatedly executed. If the end operation has been performed (Yes in step S128), the process ends.

(2) Recording Process FIG. 20 is a flowchart illustrating a recording process procedure according to the first embodiment. This process is repeatedly executed in the background of the class support process described above when an opinion board is displayed on the touch panel 11 in step S109.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the recording unit 15b waits for a handwritten input to be detected on the touch panel 11 (step S201). At this time, when handwritten input is detected on the touch panel 11 (Yes in step S201), it can be estimated that the starting point of one stroke writing has been received. In this case, the recording unit 15b assigns a description ID (step S202).

  In addition, the recording unit 15b detects the student ID and handwriting input corresponding to the opinion display area currently selected in association with the description ID numbered in step S202 among the description IDs included in the handwritten input data 13d. The coordinates of the start point thus recorded are recorded (step S203).

  Then, until no handwriting input is detected on the touch panel 11 (step S205 Yes), the recording unit 15b continues the process of adding and recording the coordinates of the handwriting input, that is, the relay point and the end point (step S204).

  Thereafter, when handwriting input is no longer detected on the touch panel 11 (No at Step S205), the process returns to Step S201 and the processes from Step S201 to Step S204 are repeatedly executed.

[One aspect of effect]
As described above, when the teacher terminal 10 according to the present embodiment performs handwriting input on the opinion board in which a plurality of opinions are displayed in a list, the teacher terminal 10 adds an area to be supplemented beyond the display area of the opinion being handwritten. Display on the opinion display area. Therefore, handwriting can be input beyond the limit of the display area during handwriting input. Therefore, according to the teacher terminal 10 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the mark description cannot be completely input by handwriting.

  Although the embodiments related to the disclosed apparatus have been described above, the present invention may be implemented in various different forms other than the above-described embodiments. Therefore, another embodiment included in the present invention will be described below.

[Shape of opinion board]
In the first embodiment, the case where a rectangle is adopted as the shape of the opinion board is illustrated, but the shape of the opinion board is not limited to this. That is, other shapes such as a polygon, a circle, and an ellipse can be adopted as the shape of the opinion board.

[How to divide opinion boards]
In the first embodiment, the case where the opinions of the students are displayed in a matrix on the opinion board is illustrated. However, the opinion board does not necessarily have to be divided into a matrix, and the opinion board is not necessarily divided into equal parts. As a matter of course, any method of dividing the opinion board can be adopted. For example, students are grouped according to their opinions, for example, pros and cons, weight is given to the group according to the number of groups in the whole, and the group opinion is displayed on the opinion board according to the weight of the group. The sheath shape can be changed.

[Additional area display conditions]
In the first embodiment, the case where the supplementary writing area is displayed when the handwriting input extends beyond the selection area is exemplified, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the teacher terminal 10 can also display the supplementary writing area when the handwriting input operation indicates a predetermined sign operation extending outside a specific display area. As an example of such an indication operation, the teacher terminal 10 can divide the selection area into a predetermined number of areas and display the supplementary area when there is no blank portion in each area. Note that, here, the case where the presumed action is that there is no margin in the divided area is exemplified, but the time difference between the mark descriptions by the handwriting input action, for example, the time difference between the start points of the one-stroke mark description is predetermined. When the mark description that is within the threshold value continues for a predetermined number of times, the supplementary area may be displayed.

  21 and 22 are diagrams illustrating an example of the selection area. 21 and 22 exemplify the case where the selection area is divided into six, but this is only an example, and the selection area can be divided into an arbitrary number of regions. In the case of the selection area 60 shown in FIG. 21, each of the six areas includes a display of either approval or disapproval, opinion or mark description. In this case, it can be estimated that there is little remaining space for the teacher to input by hand. Therefore, the teacher terminal 10 displays the supplementary note area 61. On the other hand, in the case of the selection area 71 shown in FIG. In this case, it can be estimated that the space where the teacher can input by handwriting still remains in the selection area. Therefore, the teacher terminal 10 does not display the supplementary note area.

  In the first embodiment, when another display area is selected, the supplementary note area corresponding to the previously selected display area is not displayed. However, the display has a hierarchy and the other display areas are not displayed. When selected, the supplementary note area corresponding to the previously selected display area may be moved to a layer below another selected display area. Moreover, it is good also as displaying a new handwriting input area | region by forming the display content of other display areas outside a selection area with a translucent mask or masking.

[Additional area shape]
In Example 1 described above, the case where the shape of the supplementary area is a square is illustrated, but the embodiment is not limited to this, and the teacher terminal 10 may change the aspect ratio of the supplementary area, The shape can be a polygon, an ellipse, a circle, or a balloon.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an application example of setting data for the supplementary writing area. 24 and 25 are diagrams showing application examples of the supplementary note area. For example, when the setting data shown in FIG. 23 is used for setting the supplementary writing area, when the protruding direction of the handwriting input is the vertical direction, that is, the Y-axis direction, the aspect ratio of the supplementary writing area is vertical: horizontal = 1.5. : 1 is set. On the other hand, when the protruding direction of handwritten input is the horizontal direction, that is, the X-axis direction, the aspect ratio of the supplementary writing area is set to vertical: horizontal = 1: 2.

  Under such settings, in the case of the selection area 80 shown in FIG. 24, the description M1 protrudes to the right by handwriting input. In this case, the protruding direction of handwritten input is the horizontal direction. For this reason, the supplementary note area 81 whose aspect ratio is vertical: horizontal = 1: 2 is displayed on the adjacent area. Therefore, it is possible to realize a drawer display linked with horizontal writing. In the case of the selection area 90 shown in FIG. 25, the description m3 fits in the selection area 90, but the description m4 protrudes downward. In this case, the protruding direction of handwritten input is the vertical direction. For this reason, the supplementary area 91 whose aspect ratio is vertical: horizontal = 1.5: 1 is displayed on the adjacent area. Accordingly, it is possible to realize a drawer display linked to vertical writing.

[Display size of supplementary area]
For example, in the above-described first embodiment, the case where the supplementary area is displayed in a part of the adjacent area is exemplified, but the display method of the supplementary area is not limited to this. For example, the supplementary note area does not necessarily have to be displayed completely on a part of another display area such as the adjacent area. As an example, the supplementary area can be displayed across a plurality of adjacent areas, or the supplementary area can be displayed across the adjacent area and other areas other than the adjacent area. Further, the size of the supplementary area does not necessarily have to be limited to a part of the other display area, and may extend over the entire display area.

[Other implementation examples]
In the first embodiment, the case where a client server system in which the teacher terminal 10 is a server device and the student terminal 30 is a client terminal is constructed is illustrated, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, it can be implemented as a client server system further including a server device that accommodates both the teacher terminal 10 and the student terminal 30 as client terminals. In this case, the server device may be implemented with each function in the control unit 15 of the teacher terminal 10. For example, the server device may be implemented as a Web server that provides the collaborative education support service, or may be implemented as a cloud that provides the collaborative education support service by outsourcing. When demand is received from the client terminals such as the teacher terminal 10 and the student terminal 30 via the network 5, the collaborative education support service can be provided by executing the class support processing and the recording processing described above.

[Display control program]
The various processes described in the above embodiments can be realized by executing a prepared program on a computer such as a personal computer or a workstation. In the following, an example of a computer that executes a display control program having the same function as that of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 26 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a computer that executes a display control program according to the first and second embodiments. As illustrated in FIG. 26, the computer 100 includes an operation unit 110a, a speaker 110b, a camera 110c, a display 120, and a communication unit 130. Further, the computer 100 includes a CPU 150, a ROM 160, an HDD 170, and a RAM 180. These units 110 to 180 are connected via a bus 140.

  As shown in FIG. 26, the HDD 170 includes a display control program 170a that exhibits the same functions as the answer receiving unit 15a, the recording unit 15b, the supplementary area setting unit 15c, and the display control unit 15d described in the first embodiment. Stored in advance. The display control program 170a may be integrated or separated as appropriate, like the respective components of the answer receiving unit 15a, the recording unit 15b, the supplementary area setting unit 15c, and the display control unit 15d shown in FIG. That is, all the data stored in the HDD 170 may not always be stored in the HDD 170, and only the data used for processing need be stored in the HDD 170. For example, it can be modularized by focusing on a part of the class support process and the recording process.
