In addition, this invention is not limited by the following embodiment. Hereinafter, the notification support system of the present invention will be described by taking as an example a case where a lecturer teaches a student in a classroom. Accordingly, the first user described in the claims is referred to as a student user S such as a student, and the second user is referred to as a lecturer user T.

  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and can be similarly implemented in a meeting or a presentation. At that time, the user who moderates the meeting or presentation becomes the first user, and the user who participates in the meeting or presentation becomes the second user.

<Configuration of notification support system>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a notification support system 1 according to the present embodiment.
The notification support system 1 according to the present embodiment includes an instructor terminal 2 used by an instructor user T (equivalent to a second user) who performs a class, an electronic blackboard device system 3 used by the instructor user T, and an attendance class. A student terminal 4 used by a user S (corresponding to a first user), a support server device 5, and an output device 6 (corresponding to output means) are connected via a network N such as a LAN. Although FIG. 1 shows an example in which the student terminal 4, the support server device 5, and the output device 6 are one, there may be a plurality of them.

  The instructor terminal 2 is an example of a display terminal device described in the claims. The instructor terminal 2 is, for example, a touch panel type tablet terminal, and is a liquid crystal display device such as a smartphone or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants). Further, the instructor terminal 2 is capable of acquiring any postcard data displayed on the screen of the electronic blackboard device system 3 described later from the support server device 5 and displaying an arbitrary page.

  The electronic blackboard device system 3 is another terminal device used by the lecturer user T and is an example of an information processing device. The electronic blackboard device system 3 has a configuration that is normally implemented as an interactive whiteboard. For example, the electronic blackboard device system 3 includes a PC terminal 3a having board writing data and an image projection apparatus 3b for displaying the board writing data on a screen. ing. The PC terminal 3a is a so-called personal computer, and stores board document data prepared in advance by an instructor and used for classes in a PDF (Portable Document Format) file, a PPT (Power Point) file, and the like.

  The image projection device 3b is a so-called projector, and projects the board writing data stored in the PC terminal 3a onto a screen. Moreover, it is set as the structure which can be written using the electronic pen 3c on the board writing data displayed on the screen. When writing with the electronic pen 3c is performed, it is immediately reflected on the display screen of the PC terminal 3a. This writing system has the concept of pages. A page is a single screen. For example, the first page is a world map, the second page is a Japan map, and the like. By operating the PC terminal 3a and the electronic pen 3c, pages can be switched, a new page can be created, and the like. For example, after writing to the full display screen on the screen, a new page can be added and used by switching to the added page. The displayed board data is always transmitted from the PC terminal 3 a to the support server device 5. Of course, the instructor can also transmit at an arbitrary timing.

  As described above, since the interactive whiteboard system that is normally used can be adopted as the electronic blackboard device system 3, a detailed description of its configuration and functions is omitted here.

  The student terminal 4 is an example of a display terminal device described in the claims. The student terminal 4 is, for example, a touch panel tablet terminal, and is the same as the instructor terminal 2 described above. That is, it is possible to acquire the board writing data displayed on the screen from the support server device 5 and display an arbitrary page. Further, as will be described in detail later, when there is information that the attending user S wants to notify the instructor user T of the board writing data, it has a function that can immediately transmit the notification information to the support server device 5. Further, supplementary information can be written to the board data on the display screen.

  The “notification information” described in the claims or in the present embodiment is information that the attending user S wants to notify the lecturer user T of the board writing data. Etc. ”. “Input notification information” described in the claims or in the present embodiment simply means that a mark (icon) indicating the meaning of the notification is additionally input to a corresponding portion of the board writing data. . In the present embodiment, a “?” Icon that notifies the user that the user does not understand will be described as an example. Hereinafter, the “?” Icon is referred to as a question mark W.

  The support server device 5 is an example of an information processing device described in the claims, and is realized by one or more information processing devices. The support server device 5 is a storage server, and has a function of storing board writing data provided from the PC terminal 3a of the electronic blackboard device system 3, notification information input from the student terminal 4, and supplementary information. The support server device 5 has a function of acquiring board writing data from the PC terminal 3 a of the electronic blackboard device system 3 and transmitting it to the instructor terminal 2 and the student terminal 4. Moreover, it has the function to transmit the notification information input from the student terminal 4 to the instructor terminal 2.

  That is, since the attending user S can notify the instructor terminal 2 of the notification information via the support server device 5, if the attending user S wants to notify the instructor user T that he / she does not understand, for example, he / she can notify other attending users S. A notice to that effect can be given to the lecturer user T (only the specified user) without being noticed. In addition, since the lecturer user T can recognize the student S who is not understood in real time, it can contribute to providing a high-quality class.

  Here, the board writing data refers to data displayed on the screen in the electronic blackboard device system 3. Therefore, it indicates not only the written data created by the lecturer user T in advance and stored in the PC terminal 3a, but also data written by the lecturer user T using the electronic pen 3c during the lesson.

  The output device 6 is an example of an output unit described in the claims, and is an information processing device having a function of printing or transmitting the above-described board writing data, supplementary information, and the like. The output device 6 of the present embodiment is a multifunction peripheral (MFP) having a copy function, a fax function, a mail function, and the like. The output device 6 according to the present embodiment preferably has a function of performing authentication. Therefore, after authenticating the attending user S, it is possible to select a lesson that has been attended, and to print board-written data and supplemental information written by an individual, or to send to other terminals by fax or mail.

(Configuration of student terminals)
The instructor terminal 2 and the student terminal 4 constituting the notification support system 1 according to the present embodiment are realized by, for example, functional blocks shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram of an example of the instructor terminal 2 and the student terminal 4 according to the present embodiment.

  First, the student terminal 4 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the student terminal 4 includes a display unit 41, an input unit 42, a communication unit 43, a storage unit 44, and a control unit 45.

  The display unit 41 includes a display 410, and displays various information on the display 410 based on a display signal input from the control unit 45. In addition, the display 410 in this embodiment is formed integrally with a so-called touch panel 421 and can accept a touch operation by the student S. As will be described later, the screen is divided and displayed on the display.

  The input unit 42 includes a key group 420 and the touch panel 421 described above, and outputs a signal corresponding to the type of pressed key and the position of the touch panel 421 to the control unit 45. By operating the touch panel 421, an icon indicating notification information for the board data displayed on the display can be attached. Further, by operating the key group 420, it is possible to write supplementary information (supplementary comments) for the board data.

The communication unit 43 performs data communication with the support server device 5, and in this embodiment, performs wireless communication. In the present embodiment, the communication unit 43 communicates with the instructor terminal 2 via the support server device 5. When the attending user S inputs notification information by attaching an icon indicating the notification information to a specific part of the board writing data, the notification information is transmitted to the support server device 5. Further, when the attending user S inputs supplementary information for the board writing data, it has a function of transmitting the supplementary information to the support server device 5. In the notification information and supplementary information (supplementary comment) transmitted to the support server device 5, the input date / time, class ID, “participating user ID” that specifies the input student S, notification information, or supplemental information are input. Added page numbers.
Furthermore, when transmitting the notification information, the communication unit 43 also transmits position information (coordinate information) that specifies to which part of the board writing data the notification information is input. Incidentally, in the instructor terminal 2, when the communication unit 23 transmits data, the instructor user ID that always specifies the instructor user T is also transmitted.

  The storage unit 44 is a memory that stores programs and data for realizing various functions of the student terminal 4 and functions as a work area of the control unit 45. In the present embodiment, the storage unit 44 includes an ID table 440 and the like. When the communication unit 43 transmits various data, the attendance user ID stored in the ID table 440 is transmitted.

  In the ID table 440, the terminal ID of the own device and the ID of the attending user S are stored in association with each other. Incidentally, in the ID table 240 of the instructor terminal 2, the terminal ID of the own device and the ID of the instructor user T are stored in association with each other.

  The control unit 45 executes processing based on a predetermined program in accordance with an input instruction, performs an instruction to each functional unit, data transfer, and the like, and controls the student terminal 4 in an integrated manner. It has become. Specifically, the control unit 45 reads out various programs stored in the storage unit 44 in response to an operation signal or the like input from the input unit 42, and executes processing according to the program. And the control part 45 makes a display part 41 output a process result suitably.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a display displayed on the display 410 of the student terminal 4. As shown in the figure, the display screen of the student terminal 4 has a three-screen configuration.
The class name and instructor name are displayed in the uppermost frame K1. Board writing data is displayed in the center frame K2. In the lowermost frame K3, a comment frame in which supplementary information (supplementary comment) for the board writing data can be written. By flicking left and right on the blackboard data display in the center frame K2, it is possible to switch to the blackboard data of the previous and next pages.

  The question mark W is the “?” Icon at the right end of the top frame K1. In the case where the question mark W is attached to the board writing data displayed in the center frame K2, it can be realized by dragging and dropping the question mark W in the uppermost frame K1 and placing it at an arbitrary position in the board writing data of the center frame K2. . In the illustrated example, an example of only the question mark W is shown as an icon indicating the notification information, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a pull-down menu is provided at the right end of the uppermost frame K1 so that a plurality of icons can be selected, and appropriate notification information can be notified by selecting an icon. As notification information to be notified to the lecturer user T, for example, there are “understood understanding”, “notification of re-explanation request” and the like, and an icon corresponding to the above notification can be selected.

(Lecturer terminal 2)
Since the instructor terminal 2 has the same functional blocks as the above-described student terminal 4, the description of the overlapping functions is omitted. The instructor terminal 2 further includes a combining unit 26 as shown in FIG.

  When the notification information and the position information for specifying the notification information are transmitted from the student terminal 4 via the support server device 5, the combining unit 26 transmits the notification information and the position information on the corresponding board writing data. It has a function of synthesizing the question mark W. An example in which the notification information is combined and displayed at an appropriate location on the board writing data based on the position information is shown below.

FIG. 6 shows an example of display displayed on the display 210 of the instructor terminal 2. As shown in the figure, the display screen of the instructor terminal 2 has a two-screen configuration.
The class name and instructor name are displayed in the upper frame K10. The board writing data is displayed in the lower frame K20. By flicking left and right on the blackboard data display of the lower frame K20, it is possible to switch to the blackboard data of the previous and next pages. In the board data displayed in the lower frame K20, the question mark W1 (W2) input by the attending user S is synthesized at an appropriate position input (designated) by the attending user S. In the drawing, only a display example when two student users S input is shown, and a plurality of question marks W input from a plurality of student users S can be displayed. By the way, when this question mark W1 (or W2) is tapped, the user name (student name) who has entered the question mark W is displayed in a pop-up. Therefore, the lecturer user T can immediately check which user S has pressed the question mark W.

The display form of the instructor terminal 2 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 6 and can be switched as appropriate. FIG. 7 shows another example of the display form of the instructor terminal 2. For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, the display screen is divided into a plurality of areas in advance. In the illustrated example, it is divided into four areas. And the question mark W which is the notification information which the some attendance user S input via the support server apparatus 5 can each be allocated to an applicable area based on position information, and can be displayed side by side in an applicable area. . At this time, the combining unit 26 refers to the position information and the information related to the area, calculates a corresponding area where the notification information (question mark W) is to be displayed, and combines the question mark W on the calculated corresponding area. Processing to do.
Then, the instructor user T can grasp in real time how much of the area of the board writing data the portion that is difficult to understand and is to be questioned. This is effective when there are many attendance users S.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7B as a display form of the instructor terminal 2, a time series frame K30 that can confirm when the question mark W is input can be displayed on the same screen. In the time series frame K30, the time when the question mark W is input and the input ID (or name) of the attending user S are displayed in time series.

When the lecturer user T taps the display part of the attending user ID or name (student S1) to be confirmed, the question mark W (W1 in the illustrated example) input by the student S1 (learning user S) is displayed on the board data. Therefore, the instructor user T can recognize the timing when the question mark W is input while confirming the position of the question mark W.
The instructor terminal 2 can be displayed in chronological order as described above, in addition to the location information, the input date and time, and the “Learning User ID” that identifies the learning user S are added to the transmitted notification information. Because.

(Support server device)
The support server device 5 constituting the notification support system 1 according to the present embodiment is realized by, for example, functional blocks shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of an example of the support server device 5 in the present embodiment.
The support server device 5 includes a display unit 51, an input unit 52, a communication unit 53, a determination unit 54, a storage unit 55, a control unit 56, and an authentication unit 57.

  The display unit 51 includes an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), and the like, and displays a processing result by the support server device 5.

  The input unit 52 includes a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, and the like, and is used to input each operation signal to the support server device 5.

  The communication unit 53 is an interface connected to the network N. Thereby, the support server device 5 can perform data communication with other terminals via the communication unit 53.

  When the determination unit 54 receives the data via the communication unit 53, the notification that the received data is the postcard data transmitted from the PC terminal 3a or the student user S inputs via the student terminal 4 It has a function of determining whether it is information (question mark W) or supplementary information (supplementary comment). The determination method is performed based on, for example, an identifier of data to be transmitted. Of course, other commonly used determination methods may be used.

  The storage unit 55 includes a board writing database 550 and an input information database 551. The board writing database 550 basically stores and stores board writing data of PPT and PDF created by the teacher user T in advance, and board writing data input by the electronic pen 3c. In addition, the date and time of creation, class ID, lecturer user ID, page number, storage number, and the like are stored in association with the board data. The “lesson ID” is an identifier for identifying the lesson, and the “instructor user ID” is an identifier for identifying the instructor user T. The class ID and the lecturer ID are associated with each other, and the lecturer user T can be specified using the class ID as a key. Accordingly, the class name and the lecturer name displayed in the uppermost frame K1 of the student terminal 4 shown in FIG. 5 and the upper frame K10 of the lecturer terminal 2 shown in FIG. ”And“ Teacher user ID ”are extracted and displayed. The storage number is an identifier when the same page number is stored a plurality of times.

  Incidentally, the board writing database 550 of the present embodiment stores the board writing data displayed on the screen transmitted from the PC terminal 3a used by the instructor user T one by one. Of course, the board data transmitted by the lecturer user T at an arbitrary timing is also stored. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the board writing data may be directly stored in the board writing database 550 of the support server device 5. That is, even if the present invention does not include the electronic blackboard device system 3, it is only necessary that the board writing data used by the teacher user T is stored in the board writing database 550 of the support server device 5.

  The input information database 551 stores notification information (question mark W) and supplementary information (supplementary comments) input by the attending user S with respect to the board data. In addition, the above information is stored in association with the input date and time, the class ID, the “student user ID” for identifying the attending user S, and the corresponding “page number” for which notification information or supplementary information is input. Yes.

Since the lesson ID is stored in association with the notification information and the supplementary information as described above, the lesson ID stored in the above-mentioned board writing database 550 is searched using this lesson ID as a key, and is associated with this lesson ID. The instructor ID being extracted can be extracted to identify the instructor user T and the instructor terminal 2 used by the instructor user T.
Incidentally, the position information for specifying the position of the question mark W is added to the notification information as described above. When a plurality of marks are used, mark type information is also added.

  The control unit 56 executes each function unit to realize control and functions of the entire support server device 5.

  The authentication unit 57 has a function of permitting authentication when the user S who uses the output device 6 shown in FIG. 1 inputs an IC card, a password, a fingerprint, or a voiceprint in the output device 6. Of course, the authentication unit 57 may not be installed in the support server device 5, but may be included in the output device 6 or another authentication server device.

<Details of processing>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a control process of the support server device 5 included in the notification support system 1 according to the first embodiment.

  S1 indicates a step in which the support server device 5 waits for data reception. When the support server device 5 receives the data in S2, it determines whether the data received in S3 is postcard data. In the case of this embodiment, the board writing data is transmitted from the PC terminal 3a used by the lecturer user T.

  When it is board writing data in S3 (Yes), the support server device 5 stores the board writing data in the board writing database 550 (S4). The stored board writing data is transmitted to the student terminal 4 and the instructor terminal 2 (S5).

  If it is not the board data in S3 (No), the support server device 5 determines whether it is supplementary information (supplementary comment) input by the attending user S (S6). If it is supplementary information in S6 (Yes), the supplementary information is stored in the input information database 551 (S7).

When it is not supplementary information in S6 (No), the support server device 5 determines that it is the notification information input by the attending user S, and stores the notification information in the input information database 551 (S8). Then, the support server device 5 transmits notification information to the instructor terminal 2 (S9). In the transmitted notification information, position information specifying the position of the question mark W is also transmitted.
When the series of steps described above is completed, the process returns to S2 to repeat each step during the lesson.

  Next, the exchange of processing between the support server device 5 and the instructor terminal 2 when the attending user S inputs the question mark W through his / her student terminal 4 will be described from the sequence diagram shown in FIG. .

  The attending user S adds a question mark W on the board data displayed on the terminal 4 for his / her student and inputs notification information (S20). Then, the student terminal 4 has the date and time when the notification information is input, the lesson ID of the class being taken, the user ID of the user who has received the notification, the page number of the board data where the notification information is input, and the position where the notification information is input. Information related to notification information such as information is acquired and added to the notification information (S21). Incidentally, the information to be acquired may include mark type information. Then, the notification information to which “information regarding the notification information” is added is transmitted to the support server device 5 (S22).

  In the support server device 5, the notification information transmitted from the student terminal 4 is stored in the input information database 551 (S23).

  The support server device 5 searches for the same class ID stored in the board document database 550 from the class ID added to the transmitted notification information, and extracts the lecturer ID associated with the class ID. And the lecturer user T who should transmit notification information from the said lecturer ID is specified, and the terminal 2 for lecturers corresponding to the said lecturer user T is specified (S24). And notification information is transmitted to the terminal 2 for lecturers matched with lecturer ID (S25). Of course, the transmitted notification information includes the information (position information, attended user ID, etc.) added to the notification information.

  When the notification information is received from the support server device 5 in the instructor terminal 2, the corresponding page information of the blackboard data in which the question mark W is input is acquired (S26). If the corresponding page has already been displayed and acquired, this step is skipped. Then, the received notification information (question mark W) is combined with the position based on the position information on the board data of the corresponding page (S27) and displayed (S28). The instructor user T operates the display screen of the instructor terminal 2 to appropriately switch the notification information as shown in FIGS. 6, 7A, and 7B (S29).

  The instructor user T appropriately switches the notification information to the display shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 7 (A), and FIG. 7 (B), and in real time which student feels which part is difficult to understand. It can be grasped and a response corresponding to the user S can be taken immediately.

  Incidentally, as described above, the notification support system 1 according to the present embodiment is not connected to the instructor terminal 2 operated by the instructor user T and the image projection apparatus 3b. Since the input notification information (question mark W) is not displayed, there is no possibility of other students S noticing.

  The above-described notification information is merely to notify the part that you want to question. More specifically, as means for notifying “unintelligible part”, for example, character string data (eg, in the area where the supplementary comment in the bottom frame K3 of the display screen is described using the key group 420 of the student terminal 4). XX of XX is not known) may be transmitted to the instructor terminal 2 via the support server device 5 and displayed as a telop on the instructor terminal 2.

  In addition, when a “button that cannot be understood” is added to the display screen of the student terminal 4 and there is a part that the student user S cannot understand when explaining the lecturer user T, if the button is pressed immediately, A method may be adopted in which the fact that the button is pressed is displayed in real time. Then, the lecturer user T can add a detailed explanation immediately.

  Next, a process when the attending user S outputs the blackboard data stored in the storage unit 55 of the support server device 5 and the supplementary information input by the user by the output device 6 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In S30, the output device 6 authenticates the attending user S. The output device 6 (MFP) is provided with an authentication accepting unit and accepts an authentication operation from the attending user S. Authentication means includes an ID card, a user name and password, fingerprint authentication, voiceprint authentication, and the like. For example, the output device 6 transmits the received authentication signal to the support server device 5, waits for a response from the authentication unit 57, and determines whether the authentication is OK. Of course, the output device 6 may have an authentication unit.

  If the authentication cannot be performed (No), the process ends. If the authentication is successful (Yes), the output device 6 accepts the input (selection) of the date and time of the class attended by the attending user S (S31). Then, the output device 6 acquires and displays a list of all lesson data of the selected date and time among the lesson IDs stored in the board document database 550 of the support server device 5. Then, an operation for selecting a lesson attended by the attending user S from the list display is accepted (S32). In addition, the output device 6 accepts input of page designation information related to a page that the attending user S wants to output among the board writing data used in the selected lesson (S33).

  The output device 6 acquires the board writing data of the designated page from the support server device 5 (S34).
