Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] When resuming learning in a document processing device having a learning function, it refers to the space in the floppy disk that stores the previous learning records and starts from the current starting point. It is equipped with a question/answer function that advances automatically.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a question/answer device, and for example, when executing a learning function in a document processing device, the present invention loads files necessary for restarting learning based on information set at the end of the previous learning. Relates to a question/answer device with a function of automatically proceeding to the current starting point.

[Problems to be solved by the prior art and the invention] Document processing devices basically have a text storage function, an input/output function, and a text structure processing function, and can automatically store, edit, revise, etc. It is processed accordingly. Various types of learning can be performed using a document processing device having such functions. That is, the user purchases a ROM card storing a predetermined learning program, attaches it to the device, and learns by operating the keyboard. In this case, the learning content is prepared by the manufacturer, and the user selects the content that matches his/her learning progress.

However, if learning is once interrupted when executing such a learning function, it must be restarted from the beginning. This is often inconvenient for users.

[Means and effects for solving the problems] The present invention aims to provide a learning device having a progress management function that solves the above-mentioned problems. It has a function that allows you to resume learning from the next step that you finished last time when you resume learning next time.
FIG. 1 is a basic configuration diagram of the present invention. In Figure 1,
11 is a document that switches between document processing mode and learning mode/
It is a learning mode switching means and is provided on the keyboard.

Reference numeral 12 denotes means for storing processing programs such as question answering/progress management, and a ROM card or the like is used. This means also stores fill-in-the-blank problem programs and the like. 13-1
Reference numeral 6 denotes means provided in the central processing unit, and reference numeral 13 denotes a question/answer selection/setting means. When a question/answer is selected and the execution key is pressed, the question/answer state is entered and the document in the document memory is used as a question sentence to ask/answer the question/answer. The answer function works. Reference numeral 14 denotes an interval B reading selection means, which needs to keep the correct answer secret when a normal document is treated as a question sentence, and is used when reading questions using this secret function. Reference numeral 15 denotes an answer restart/ig selection means, which issues an instruction to load a progress management document when the auxiliary "answer restart" is selected in the question/answer state. Reference numeral 16 denotes a question sentence checking means, which checks the question sentences for grammar and syntax errors. That is, checking for undefined label names, double definition of label names, and infinite loops that do not include an answer.
and checks for undefined commands.

Reference numeral 17 denotes display means for displaying the outputs of the above-mentioned means one by one, and a CRT is usually used. Note that B is a data bus and an address bus for transmitting signals.

〔Example〕

FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) are pattern diagrams showing the contents stored on a floppy disk used in a learning device having a progress management function according to the present invention. Normally, progress management is a function that automatically sets the starting position so that the student can start from the next problem based on the previous learning progress recorded in the progress management document. Therefore, as shown in (a), it consists of a progress management data part and a question set, and the progress management data part, as shown in (b), includes a header part A, a floppy composition table B, and a start It consists of C students in the dome department and Rito in the learning record department.

In (b), header part A is the progress management ID of the identification part.
and the floppy name. Floppy composition table B consists of a set of questions and the number of each question.

The starting point section C stores the number of the current starting question set.

For example, "2 question sets, 1 interval, 1". The learning record section stores the past learning progress, such as ``What month and what day during 2 questions set 1?''. The learning progress is stored in the same manner below.

FIG. 3 is a basic flowchart of progress management processing. First, as a preparation step, create the header part of the progress management data, floppy configuration table, and starting point (Step 31)
. Next, at the start of learning, the progress management data is loaded based on the progress management ID, the file is loaded based on the data information in the last line, and the process goes to the problem (step 32).

As learning progresses, the problem counter is incremented, and when the end of the file is reached, the next file is loaded (step 33). At the end of the study, the date of that day is input and written in the study record section based on the file number and problem counter at that time (step 34).

This will be explained in more detail. As mentioned above, when the auxiliary "resume answer" is selected in the question/answer state, an instruction is given to load the progress management document. The progress management document stores the following information in a prescribed format, and the restart position is determined based on this information. Once the restart position is known, the user sets the floppy disk for the problem, loads the relevant document, and proceeds to the restart point. The learning history information is a combination of the learning date, question numbers and scores completed on that day, and is updated by the learner every time he or she completes learning. That is, when the learner selects to end the questions/answers, the learner is asked whether to leave a learning record. When "Keep" is selected, a progress management document is loaded, and the document is stored with the date (inputted by the learner), question number (automatically stored), and score (automatically stored) attached to the end of the document.

If you create a progress management document as document number 1 on the same floppy disk as the question document, you will automatically advance to the next question just by selecting resume answer. Furthermore, when the learner completes the course, the learner simply enters the date and a learning record is always left behind. When the progress management document becomes full, a warning is issued when the document is loaded and the learning history information is cleared. It is possible to print, copy to others, etc. before clearing. Of the information in the progress management document,
There is no need to list the floppy name, problem document number, and number of problems for each document. In this case, the instructions for setting the floppy and document are somewhat vague.

The "Progress Management" menu includes functions for generating progress management documents, printing them, copying them to others, and clearing the learning record section.

Tables 1 to 3 show the formats of various commands used to execute the various functions described above. The question/answer function treats the contents of the document as a program and interprets and executes it. The document consists of a command part enclosed in [ ] and a parameter part outside of the command part. The presence or absence of parameters and their contents differ depending on the command.

Numerical parameters are written in half-width characters, and the point where the numerical value ends is considered the end of the parameter. For other parameters, "[" or a new line mark is considered the end. Here, Table 1 is a basic command, Table 2 is a branch command, and Table 3 is a counting command.

, table-”- An example of the processing contents according to the above table is shown below.

For example, the processing content for an interactive problem is as follows: ■ The content of the problem is stored in the RAM as a document in the document processing device, ■ Place the pointer at the beginning of the document, ■ Examine each character one by one while moving the pointer, ■ Discover "[" Then, compare the next character string with the contents of the command table, ■ If it is not in the command table, return to ■, ■ For example, if it is [display], process as shown in Table 1,
■Processed by display command, 0th order, for example [Answer]
, and the answer command processes the contents of the key input and puts them into the hippopotamus sofa until the execution key is pressed.
■The next collation command compares the contents of the input buffer and the parameters, and if they are equal, the result flag is set to "correct", otherwise it is set to "incorrect". ■Displays the specified contents only when the result is ``incorrect''.■When the pointer reaches the end of the sentence, the end is displayed and the operation stops.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, in a document processing device having a self-learning function, information necessary for restarting learning is stored on a floppy disk as a learning record based on information set at the end of the previous learning. Since the learning process is stored in the computer and automatically proceeds to the current starting point when restarting, learning efficiency can be improved and learning progress can be effectively managed.
