  Hereinafter, embodiments of an answer input support program, an answer and marking program, an answer input support method, an answer and marking method, an answer input support device, and an answer and marking apparatus disclosed in the present application will be described in detail based on the drawings. The present invention is not limited by this embodiment.

  FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of an answer input support device according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the answer input support device 100 includes a communication unit 110, an input unit 120, a display unit 130, a storage unit 140, and a control unit 150.

  The communication unit 110 is a communication device that performs data communication with an external device via a network. The control unit 150 described later exchanges data with an external device through the communication unit 110.

  The input unit 120 is an input device for the user to input various types of information into the answer input support device 100. For example, the input unit 120 corresponds to a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, and the like. In addition, the user uses the touch pen or the like to input handwritten characters in the answer field displayed on the touch panel.

  The display unit 130 is a display device that displays information output from the control unit 150. For example, the display unit 130 corresponds to a display, a touch panel, or the like.

  The storage unit 140 has problem information 141. For example, the storage unit 140 corresponds to a semiconductor memory device such as a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk drive (HDD).

  The question information 141 is, for example, image data of a question sheet having a question and an answer column. FIG. 2 is a view showing an example of the data structure of the problem information according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the question information 141 includes answer fields 10a and 10b. Although illustration is abbreviate | omitted in FIG. 2, such problem information 141 shall match and hold | maintain the information regarding the coordinate of answer column 10a, 10b.

  The control unit 150 has a problem display unit 151, a handwriting input reception unit 152, a character recognition execution unit 153, and a character recognition result display unit 154. The control unit 150 corresponds to an integrated device such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a field programmable gate array (FPGA). Further, the control unit 150 corresponds to, for example, an electronic circuit such as a central processing unit (CPU) or a micro processing unit (MPU).

  The problem display unit 151 is a processing unit that reads the problem information 141 from the storage unit 140 and causes the display unit 130 to display the image data of the problem sheet.

  The handwriting input acceptance unit 152 is a processing unit that accepts handwriting input for the answer column included in the question information 141. For example, the user operates the input unit (touch panel) 120 and inputs an answer in handwriting in the answer column. The handwriting input acceptance unit 152 displays the trajectory of the handwriting input to the answer column in the answer column. The handwriting input acceptance unit 152 outputs, to the character recognition execution unit 153, information of a locus by handwriting input.

  When the handwriting input acceptance unit 152 accepts a cancellation request for the handwriting written in the answer column, the handwriting input acceptance unit 152 deletes the locus of the handwriting input displayed in the answer column.

  The character recognition execution unit 153 is a processing unit that executes character recognition on information of a trace by handwriting input. For example, the character recognition execution unit 153 extracts the feature of the locus of the handwriting input, compares the extracted feature with the character database (not shown), and recognizes the character corresponding to the locus of the handwriting input. The character recognition execution unit 153 outputs, to the character recognition result display unit 154, information on the character recognition result for the locus of the handwriting input.

  For example, the character database is a table that associates features with characters. The features include aspect ratio, ratio of upper half pixels, ratio of right half pixels, average distance from the center of the image, symmetry about the Y axis, symmetry about the X axis, and the like.

  The character recognition result display unit 154 is a processing unit for displaying the character to be the character recognition result at a predetermined position in the answer column. The predetermined position corresponds to the upper, lower, right, or lower right in the answer box. In addition, for example, the size of the characters of the character recognition result to be displayed in the answer column by the character recognition result display unit 154 is, for example, half or less of the vertical size of the answer column and the horizontal size of the answer column Less than half of the

  FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of processing of the answer input assistance device 100 according to the first embodiment. For example, when the handwriting input is received in the answer column 10a, the handwriting input acceptance unit 152 causes the locus 5a of the handwriting input to be displayed. For example, the user performs handwriting input on the answer column 10a displayed on the touch panel (the input unit 120, the display unit 130).

  The handwriting input acceptance unit 152 outputs the information of the locus 5a of the handwriting input to the character recognition execution unit 153. For example, when the information of the trajectory 5a is received, the character recognition execution unit 153 determines that the character of the trajectory 5a is "cherry blossom". The character recognition execution unit 153 outputs, to the character recognition result display unit 154, information indicating that the character corresponding to the locus 5a is "cherry blossom" as a result of character recognition.

  When the character recognition result display unit 154 acquires the character recognition result from the character recognition execution unit 153, the character recognition result display unit 154 causes the area 20a to display "cherry blossom" as the character recognition result. If the character recognition result displayed in the area 20a is not the character intended by the user, the user depresses the cancel button 50 and performs handwriting input in the answer column 10a again.

  When the cancel button 50 is pressed, the handwriting input accepting unit 152 erases the locus 5a, accepts the handwriting input again, and displays the locus.

  Subsequently, for example, when the handwriting input is received in the answer column 10b, the handwriting input acceptance unit 152 causes the locus 5b of the handwriting input to be displayed. For example, the user performs handwriting input on the answer column 10b displayed on the touch panel (the input unit 120, the display unit 130).

  The handwriting input acceptance unit 152 outputs the information of the trace 5b of the handwriting input to the character recognition execution unit 153. For example, when the character recognition execution unit 153 receives the information of the trajectory 5 b, the character recognition execution unit 153 determines that the character of the trajectory 5 b is “foot”. The character recognition execution unit 153 outputs, to the character recognition result display unit 154, information indicating that the character corresponding to the locus 5b is "feet" as a result of the character recognition.

  When the character recognition result display unit 154 acquires the character recognition result from the character recognition execution unit 153, the character recognition result display unit 154 causes the area 20b to display the "foot" as the character recognition result. If the character recognition result to be displayed in the area 20b is not the character intended by the user, the user presses the cancel button 50 and again performs handwriting input in the answer column 10b.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the answer input assistance device according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the question display unit 151 of the answer input support device 100 causes the display unit 130 to display the image data of the question including the answer box (step S101).

  The handwriting input acceptance unit 152 of the answer input support device 100 displays the trace of the handwriting input when the handwriting input is accepted for the answer column (step S102). The character recognition execution unit 153 of the answer input support device 100 executes the character recognition process on the locus of the handwriting input (step S103).

  The character recognition result display unit 154 of the answer input support device 100 displays the character recognition result in the answer box (step S104). For example, in step S104, the character recognition result display unit 154 causes the character recognition result to be displayed at a predetermined position in the answer column. The predetermined position corresponds to the upper, lower, right, or lower right in the answer box.

  Next, the effect of the answer input support device 100 according to the first embodiment will be described. The answer input support apparatus 100 displays the trace of the handwriting input when the handwriting input to the answer column by the user is received. In addition, the answer input support apparatus 100 executes character recognition on the locus input by handwriting input, and displays the character recognition result in the corner of the answer column. Therefore, since the user can confirm whether the character input by handwriting is the character intended by the user, it is possible to support the handwriting input by the user.

  In addition, the answer input support device 100 displays the character recognition result in the upper, lower, right, or lower right of the answer column. Further, for example, the answer input support device 100 sets the size of the character to be a character recognition result to be half or less of the vertical size of the answer column and half or less of the horizontal size of the answer column. Therefore, it is possible to make the user visually recognize the character recognition result without interrupting the handwriting input to the user.

  FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the answer scoring support system according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the answer scoring support device 200 includes a communication unit 210, an input unit 220, a display unit 230, a storage unit 240, and a control unit 250. The answer scoring support device 200 is an example of the answer and scoring device.

  The description of the communication unit 210, the input unit 220, and the display unit 230 illustrated in FIG. 5 is the same as the description of the communication unit 110, the input unit 120, and the display unit 130 described in the first embodiment.

  The storage unit 240 includes question information 241, a correct answer table 242, and an answer table 243. For example, the storage unit 140 corresponds to a semiconductor memory device such as a RAM, a ROM, or a flash memory, or a storage device such as an HDD.

  The question information 241 is, for example, image data of a question sheet having a question and an answer column. The data structure of the problem information 241 is, for example, the same as the problem information 141 shown in FIG. It is assumed that the question information 241 holds information associated with the coordinates of the answer column in association.

  The correct answer table 242 is a table for holding information on the correct answer contents in the answer column of the question information 241. The information of the correct answer table 242 is set to a user such as a lecturer in the registration phase described later. FIG. 6 is a view showing an example of the data structure of the correct answer table. As shown in FIG. 6, the correct answer table 242 associates the question number, the answer column area, and the correct answer content. The question number is information that uniquely identifies a question included in the question information 241. The answer box area is coordinates indicating the area of the answer box. For example, the answer box area is specified by the coordinates of the upper left corner of the answer box area and the coordinates of the lower right corner of the answer box area.

  The correct answer content includes correct answer characters and writing order information. The correct character is the correct character corresponding to the answer column. The writing order information is information on the writing order of the correct characters. For example, when the correct character is "Sakura", the writing order information of the cherry is stored in the writing order information.

  The answer table 243 is a table for holding information input to the answer section by a user such as a student in an answer phase to be described later. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the answer table. As shown in FIG. 7, this answer table 243 associates the question number, the answer field area, and the answer content. The question number is information that uniquely identifies a question included in the question information 241. The answer box area is coordinates indicating the area of the answer box. For example, the answer box area is specified by the coordinates of the upper left corner of the answer box area and the coordinates of the lower right corner of the answer box area.

  The answer content includes answer letters, writing order information, and answer image data. The answer letter is a letter entered by the user in the answer box. The writing order information is information on the writing order of the answer characters. For example, if the answer character is "Sakura", the writing order information of the cherry is stored in the writing order information. The answer image data is image data of a character (a locus input by handwriting) input by the user in the answer column.

  The control unit 250 includes a problem display unit 251, a handwriting input reception unit 252, a character recognition execution unit 253, a character recognition result display unit 254, a registration unit 256, and a scoring unit 257. The control unit 250 corresponds to an integrated device such as an ASIC or an FPGA. Also, the control unit 250 corresponds to, for example, an electronic circuit such as a CPU or an MPU.

  The problem display unit 251 is a processing unit that reads the problem information 241 from the storage unit 240 and causes the display unit 230 to display the image data of the problem sheet.

  The handwriting input acceptance unit 252 is a processing unit that accepts handwriting input for the answer column included in the question information 241. For example, the user operates the input unit (touch panel) 220 and inputs an answer in handwriting in the answer column. The handwriting input acceptance unit 252 displays the locus of the handwriting input to the answer column in the answer column. The handwriting input acceptance unit 252 outputs, to the character recognition execution unit 253, information on a locus by handwriting input.

  When the handwriting input acceptance unit 252 accepts a cancellation request for the handwritten character described in the answer column, the handwriting input acceptance unit 252 deletes the locus of the handwriting input displayed in the answer column.

  The character recognition execution unit 253 is a processing unit that executes character recognition on information of a trace by handwriting input. For example, the character recognition execution unit 253 extracts features of a locus of handwriting input, compares the extracted features with a character database not shown, and recognizes characters corresponding to the locus of handwriting input. The character recognition execution unit 253 outputs, to the character recognition result display unit 254, information of the character recognition result for the locus of the handwriting input.

  The character recognition result display unit 254 is a processing unit for displaying the character to be the character recognition result at a predetermined position in the answer column. The predetermined position corresponds to the upper, lower, right, or lower right in the answer box. In addition, for example, the size of the character of the character recognition result to be displayed in the answer column by the character recognition result display unit 254 is not more than half of the vertical size of the answer column and the horizontal size of the answer column Less than half.

  The registration unit 256 registers, in the correct answer table 242, the correct answer contents input in the answer column in the registration phase. Further, the registration unit 256 registers, in the answer table 243, the answer content input to the answer field in the answer phase.

  The scoring unit 257 is a processing unit that compares the correct answer table 242 with the answer table 243, executes a scoring process, and displays the scoring result on the display unit 230 when a scoring request is received. For example, for a certain question number, the scoring unit 257 gives a score for the question when the correct letter and the answer letter match, and the writing order of the correct letter matches the writing order of the answer letter. The scoring unit 257 repeatedly executes the above process for each question number to calculate the total score by summing up the scores given to each question. The grading unit 257 displays the total score on the display unit 230 as a grading result. The scoring unit 257 may transmit the scoring result to a terminal device used by a student or the like.

  In addition, when the grading unit 257 displays the grading result, the writing order information registered in the answer table 243 or the answer image data may be displayed together. In the above example, the case where the record of the correct answer table 242 and the record of the answer table 243 are compared using the question number as a key has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The scoring unit 257 may, for example, compare the record of the correct answer table 242 with the record of the answer table 243 by using the answer field as a key.

  Next, the process of the “registration phase” in which the answer scoring support device 200 registers information in the correct answer table will be described. The user such as a lecturer operates the input unit 220 to input a registration phase request to the control unit 250, and the answer scoring support device 200 shifts to the following registration phase. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining an example of the process of the registration phase of the answer scoring support system according to the second embodiment. When the problem display unit 251 receives a registration request via the input unit 220, the problem display unit 251 reads out the problem information 241 and causes the display unit 230 to display the same.

  When the handwriting input is received in the answer column 10a, the handwriting input acceptance unit 252 displays the locus 5a of the handwriting input. For example, the user performs handwriting input on the answer column 10a displayed on the touch panel (input unit 220, display unit 230).

  The handwriting input acceptance unit 252 outputs the information of the locus 5a of handwriting input to the character recognition execution unit 253. For example, when the character recognition execution unit 253 receives the information of the trajectory 5a, the character recognition execution unit 253 determines that the character of the trajectory 5a is "cherry blossom". The character recognition execution unit 253 outputs, to the character recognition result display unit 254, information indicating that the character corresponding to the locus 5a is "cherry blossom" as a result of character recognition.

  When the character recognition result display unit 254 acquires the character recognition result from the character recognition execution unit 253, the character recognition result display unit 254 causes the area 20a to display "cherry blossom" as the character recognition result. If the character recognition result displayed in the area 20a is not the character intended by the user, the user depresses the cancel button 50 and performs handwriting input in the answer column 10a again.

  The user presses the registration button 60 when the character recognition result displayed in the area 20 a is the character intended by the user. When the registration button 60 is pressed, the registration unit 256 generates a unique number "T101" as a question number, and registers a record corresponding to the question number in the correct answer table 242. For example, the registration unit 256 registers the coordinates of the answer column 10a in the answer column area. In addition, the registration unit 256 registers the character recognition result "Sakura" of the character input in the answer column 10a as the correct character. Further, the registration unit 256 registers the writing order of the characters input in the answer column 10a in the writing order information. For example, the registration unit 256 may register the locus of the handwriting input to the answer column 10a and the order of the locus in the writing order information as writing order information.

  Subsequently, when the handwriting input is received in the answer column 10b, the handwriting input accepting unit 252 causes the locus 5b of the handwriting input to be displayed. For example, the user performs handwriting input on the answer column 10b displayed on the touch panel (the input unit 220, the display unit 230).

  The handwriting input acceptance unit 252 outputs the information of the locus 5b of the handwriting input to the character recognition execution unit 253. For example, when the character recognition execution unit 253 receives the information of the trajectory 5 b, the character recognition execution unit 253 determines that the character of the trajectory 5 b is “foot”. The character recognition execution unit 253 outputs, to the character recognition result display unit 254, information indicating that the character corresponding to the locus 5b is "feet" as a result of the character recognition.

  When the character recognition result display unit 254 acquires the character recognition result from the character recognition execution unit 253, the character recognition result display unit 254 causes the region 20b to display "foot" as the character recognition result. If the character recognition result to be displayed in the area 20b is not the character intended by the user, the user presses the cancel button 50 and again performs handwriting input in the answer column 10b.

  The user presses the registration button 60 when the character recognition result displayed in the area 20 b is a character intended by the user. When the registration button 60 is pressed, the registration unit 256 generates a unique number "T102" as a question number, and registers a record corresponding to the question number in the correct answer table 242. For example, the registration unit 256 registers the coordinates of the answer column 10b in the answer column area. Further, the registration unit 256 registers the character recognition result "feet" of the character input in the answer column 10b as the correct character. In addition, the registration unit 256 registers, in the writing order information, the writing order of the characters input in the answer column 10b. For example, the registration unit 256 may register the locus of the handwriting input to the answer column 10b and the order of the locus in the writing order information as writing order information.

  Next, the process of the “answer phase” in which the answer scoring support device 200 registers information in the answer table will be described. The user such as a student operates the input unit 220 and inputs an answer phase request to the control unit 250, whereby the answer scoring support device 200 shifts to the following answer phase. FIG. 9 is a view for explaining an example of processing of an answer phase of the answer scoring support system according to the second embodiment. When the question display unit 251 receives an answer request via the input unit 220, the question display unit 251 reads out the question information 241 and causes the display unit 230 to display the question information.

  When the handwriting input acceptance unit 252 accepts a handwriting input in the answer column 10a, the handwriting input acceptance unit 252 displays a locus 6a of the handwriting input. For example, the user performs handwriting input on the answer column 10a displayed on the touch panel (input unit 220, display unit 230).

  The handwriting input acceptance unit 252 outputs the information of the locus 6a of the handwriting input to the character recognition execution unit 253. For example, when the character recognition execution unit 253 receives the information of the trajectory 6a, the character recognition execution unit 253 determines that the character of the trajectory 6a is "cherry blossom". The character recognition execution unit 253 outputs, to the character recognition result display unit 254, information indicating that the character corresponding to the locus 6a is "cherry blossom" as a result of character recognition.

  When the character recognition result display unit 254 acquires the character recognition result from the character recognition execution unit 253, the character recognition result display unit 254 causes the area 20a to display "cherry blossom" as the character recognition result. If the character recognition result displayed in the area 20a is not the character intended by the user, the user depresses the cancel button 50 and performs handwriting input in the answer column 10a again.

  The user presses the answer button 70 when the character recognition result displayed in the area 20 a is the character intended by the user. When the answer button 70 is pressed, the registration unit 256 sets a question number, and registers a record corresponding to the setting number in the answer table 243. For example, the registration unit 256 registers the coordinates of the answer column 10a in the answer column area. In addition, the registration unit 256 registers the character recognition result "cherry blossom" of the character input in the answer column 10a as the answer character. Further, the registration unit 256 registers the writing order of the characters input in the answer column 10a in the writing order information. For example, the registration unit 256 may register the locus of the handwriting input to the answer column 10a and the order of the locus in the writing order information as writing order information. In addition, the registration unit 256 registers, in the answer table 243, the image data of the character handwritten in the answer column 10a (the locus of the handwriting input).

  Subsequently, when the handwriting input is received in the answer column 10b, the handwriting input accepting unit 252 causes the locus 6b of the handwriting input to be displayed. For example, the user performs handwriting input on the answer column 10b displayed on the touch panel (the input unit 220, the display unit 230).

  The handwriting input acceptance unit 252 outputs the information of the locus 6b of the handwriting input to the character recognition execution unit 253. For example, when the character recognition execution unit 253 receives the information of the trajectory 6 b, the character recognition execution unit 253 determines that the character of the trajectory 6 b is “mouth”. As a result of the character recognition, the character recognition execution unit 253 outputs, to the character recognition result display unit 254, information that the character corresponding to the trajectory 6b is "a mouth".

  When the character recognition result display unit 254 acquires the character recognition result from the character recognition execution unit 253, the character recognition result display unit 254 causes the region 20b to display the "mouth" as the character recognition result. If the character recognition result to be displayed in the area 20b is not the character intended by the user, the user presses the cancel button 50 and again performs handwriting input in the answer column 10b.

  The user presses the answer button 70 when the character recognition result displayed in the area 20 b is the character intended by the user. When the answer button 70 is pressed, the registration unit 256 sets a question number, and registers a record corresponding to the question number in the answer table 243. For example, the registration unit 256 registers the coordinates of the answer column 10b in the answer column area. Further, the registration unit 256 registers the character recognition result "mouth" of the character input in the answer column 10b as the answer character. In addition, the registration unit 256 registers, in the writing order information, the writing order of the characters input in the answer column 10b. For example, the registration unit 256 may register the locus of the handwriting input to the answer column 10b and the order of the locus in the writing order information as writing order information. Further, the registration unit 256 registers, in the answer table 243, the image data of the characters (trajectory of the handwriting input) handwritten in the answer column 10b.

  Next, an example of the processing procedure in the registration phase of the answer scoring support device 200 according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure in the registration phase of the answer scoring support system according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, the question display unit 251 of the answer scoring support device 200 causes the display unit 230 to display the image data of the question including the answer column (step S201).

  The handwriting input acceptance unit 252 of the solution scoring support device 200 displays the locus of the handwriting input when the handwriting input is accepted for the answer column (step S202). The character recognition execution unit 253 of the answer scoring support device 200 executes the character recognition process on the locus of the handwriting input (step S203).

  The character recognition result display unit 254 of the answer scoring support device 200 displays the character recognition result in the answer column (step S204). For example, in step S204, the character recognition result display unit 254 causes the character to be the character recognition result to be displayed at a predetermined position in the answer column. For example, the predetermined position corresponds to the upper, lower, right, or lower right in the answer box.

  The registration unit 256 of the answer scoring support device 200 registers the order of the trajectory and the character recognition result in the correct answer table 242 in association with each other (step S205). If the answer scoring support device 200 does not finish the process (No in step S206), the process proceeds to step S202. On the other hand, when the answer scoring support device 200 ends the process (Yes in step S206), the registration phase ends.

  Next, an example of the processing order in the answer phase of the scoring support device 200 according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure in the answer phase of the answer scoring support system according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the question display unit 251 of the answer scoring support device 200 causes the display unit 230 to display the image data of the question including the answer column (step S301).

  When handwriting input is accepted for the answer column, the handwriting input acceptance unit 252 of the solution scoring support device 200 displays the locus of handwriting input (step S302). The character recognition execution unit 253 of the answer scoring support device 200 executes the character recognition process on the locus of the handwriting input (step S303).

  The character recognition result display unit 254 of the answer scoring support device 200 displays the character recognition result in the answer column (step S304). For example, in step S304, the character recognition result display unit 254 displays the character to be the character recognition result at a predetermined position in the answer column. For example, the predetermined position corresponds to the upper, lower, right, or lower right in the answer box.

  The registration unit 256 of the answer scoring support device 200 registers the order of the trajectory and the character recognition result in the answer table 243 in association with each other (step S305). If the answer scoring support device 200 does not finish the answer phase (No in step S306), the process proceeds to step S302. On the other hand, when the answer scoring support device 200 ends the answer phase (Yes in step S306), the process proceeds to step S307.

  The scoring unit 257 of the answer scoring support device 200 determines whether a scoring instruction has been received (step S307). If the grading unit 257 has not received a grading instruction (No at Step S307), the grading unit 257 proceeds to Step S307.

  When the scoring unit 257 receives a scoring instruction (Step S307, Yes), the scoring unit 257 compares the correct answer table 242 with the answer table 243 to perform scoring (Step S308). The grading unit 257 outputs the grading result (step S309).

  Next, the effect of the answer scoring support device 200 according to the second embodiment will be described. When the handwriting input is performed, the solution scoring support device 200 performs a display indicating the locus of the handwriting input and a display indicating the character recognized by performing the character recognition process for the handwriting input, and is recognized as the locus. Characters and the correct answer table 242 are registered. In addition, upon receiving the marking instruction, the answer scoring support device 200 compares the correct answer table 242 and the answer table 243 to perform the marking process, and displays the locus of the input and the result of the marking process. For this reason, while being able to support the answer by handwriting input, it can also support a scoring operation. Further, by displaying the input track and the scoring result in association with each other, it is possible to notify the grader in an easy-to-understand manner where the answerer made a mistake.

  Moreover, although the registration part 256 of the answer scoring support apparatus 200 based on the present Example 2 memorize | stored the locus | trajectory of handwriting input and the recognized character in the correct answer table 242 and the answer table 243, what is limited to this Absent. For example, the registration unit 256 may register only the locus of handwriting input in the correct answer table 242 and the answer table 243. Then, the scoring unit 257 determines whether or not the answer in the answer table 243 is correct depending on whether or not the feature of the trajectory of the correct answer table 242 matches the feature of the trajectory of the answer table 243 for a certain question. You may judge.

  Next, an example of a computer that executes an answer input support program for realizing the same function as the answer input support device 100 and the answer scoring support device 200 shown in the above embodiments and an answer and a marking program will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a computer that executes an answer input support program, an answer, and a scoring program.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the computer 300 includes a CPU 301 that executes various arithmetic processing, an input device 302 that receives input of data from a user, and a display 303. The computer 300 also includes a reading device 304 that reads programs and the like from a storage medium, and an interface device 305 that exchanges data with other computers via a network. The computer 300 also has a RAM 306 for temporarily storing various information, and a hard disk drive 307. The devices 301 to 307 are connected to the bus 308.

  The hard disk drive 307 reads the display program 307 a and develops it on the RAM 306. The display program 307a functions as a display process 306a. For example, the display process 306a corresponds to the control units 150 and 250.

  The display program 307 a may not necessarily be stored in the hard disk drive 307 from the beginning. For example, each program is stored in a “portable physical medium” such as a flexible disk (FD), a CD-ROM, a DVD disk, a magneto-optical disk, an IC card or the like inserted into the computer 300. Then, the computer 300 may read out and execute the display program 307a.
