[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an information processing device 10 according to this embodiment.

[0012] The information processing device 10 according to the embodiment is a server that supports teacher users in conducting lessons in school education, etc., and collects teaching material data related to the teaching items set in the teacher user's timetable, and stores the teaching material data selected by the teacher user in association with the teaching items, thereby reducing the burden on teachers in preparing for and conducting lessons. Here, the teacher user refers to a teacher who educates children and students, such as a staff member of an educational institution such as an elementary school, a junior high school, or a high school (including a teacher who teaches at a cram school, etc.).

[0013] The teacher user terminal 20 refers to a terminal such as a PC or tablet terminal owned by each teacher user that is capable of communicating with an external network. The information processing device 10 is communicably connected to the teacher user terminal 20 of the teacher user, and timetable data is set, collected teaching material data is selected, and so on, via the teacher user terminal 20. Note that while FIG. 1 shows one teacher user terminal 20 owned by teacher user X, the teacher user terminal 20 of each teacher user belonging to the school is communicably connected to the information processing device 10.

[0014] Furthermore, the student user terminals 30 refer to terminals such as PCs and tablet terminals owned by each student user that are capable of communicating with an external network. Student users refer to children and students receiving education at educational institutions such as elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools (including children and students receiving education at cram schools, etc.). The information processing device 10 is communicably connected to each of the student user terminals 30, and transmits and receives various data to and from the student user terminals 30, such as outputting teaching material data and receiving test answer results answered by student users.

[0015] Note that Figure 1 shows an example in which teacher user X teaches students A, B, C, and other students who belong to the same group (set), and students A, B, and C each have a student user terminal 30 (30a, 30b, 30c).

[0016] A specific configuration of the information processing device 10 according to this embodiment will be described. The information processing device 10 includes a timetable data setting unit 11, a timetable registration unit 12, a teaching material data collection unit 13, a teaching material selection unit 14, a registered teaching material storage unit 15, and a viewing control unit 16.

[0017] The functions of each unit constituting the information processing device 10 may be realized by executing a predetermined program code using a processor, and are not limited to such software processing. For example, they may be realized by hardware processing using an ASIC or the like, or may be realized by a combination of software processing and hardware processing.

[0018] The timetable data setting unit 11 sets timetable data indicating the allocation of implementation time for the teaching items of the teacher user. Specifically, the teacher user sets the teaching items to be taught along with the date and time (implementation time slot) of the lesson as timetable data in advance before the lesson. The teaching items include information such as the grade, subject (course) that the teacher will teach, and learning content to be learned. The learning content may be set by the teacher by inputting the items and units based on the items of each grade and each subject specified in the curriculum guidelines or the units in the textbook used in the lesson, or the teacher may set the items and units by selecting them from a database of information such as the curriculum guidelines and textbook items and units. The setting period of the timetable data may be, for example, one week or one month.

[0019] The timetable data may be set by a teacher user who actually provides instruction, or by another teacher user who has the authority to set the timetable, such as an administrator of the information processing device 10.

[0020] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of timetable data settings by a teacher. Figure 2 shows the timetable data for teacher Yamada Taro, who teaches Class 6A at X Elementary School. The timetable for the first week of February 2024 is set in advance of the classes, with the subjects and learning content to be taught for each period set for each date. For example, for the first period on Monday, February 5th, the subject is set to arithmetic and the learning content is set to how to calculate volume. Note that the teacher may set multiple items (keywords) for the learning content that he or she wishes to teach.

[0021] The timetable registration unit 12 registers the set timetable data for each teacher user. When the timetable data is accessed from the teacher user terminal 20 of the teacher user, it is displayed on the teacher user terminal. The teacher user can change the contents of the timetable data as desired.

[0022] The teaching material data collection unit 13 collects teaching material data according to the instruction items in the timetable data. Specifically, using keywords such as grades, subjects, and instruction items indicating the learning content that students should study, the unit collects, as teaching material data, portions of pre-digitized textbooks and learning materials that correspond to the keywords or portions with similar content. For textbooks and learning materials, the collection results may include the names of the relevant materials, page ranges, etc. Furthermore, for learning websites (including learning video sites) searched on the network, portions that correspond to the keywords or portions with similar content may be collected as teaching material data. Note that video sites may be collected by comparing summary fields for videos, data converted from the audio content of videos, etc. with the teaching items in the timetable data to determine whether the content is similar. For learning sites, the collected results may include the URL information of the sites.

[0023] The teaching material data collection unit 13 may also set an upper limit on the amount of teaching material data to be collected (for example, 5 pieces). The number of pieces to be collected from textbooks and learning materials and the number to be collected from learning sites on websites and video sites may also be set in advance. When collecting teaching material data from learning sites, video sites, etc. on websites, priority may be given to sites with high numbers of views or high ratings based on the number of views or evaluations of the sites.

[0024] The teaching material data collection unit 13 may automatically collect teaching material data when timetable data is registered by the teacher user, or may collect teaching material data when it receives a collection instruction from the teacher user.

[0025] The teaching material selection unit 14 accepts the teacher user's selection of teaching material data collected by the teaching material data collection unit 13. Specifically, the teaching material selection unit 14 displays the collection results of the collected teaching material data on the teacher user terminal 20 and accepts the teacher user's selection of teaching material data. In this way, the teacher user selects teaching materials necessary for the lesson from the collected teaching material data.

[0026] The teaching material selection unit 14 may display the teaching material data on the teacher user terminal 20 and accept the selection when the collection of teaching material data is completed, or may display the teaching material data on the teacher user terminal 20 and accept the selection when the collection of teaching material data is completed and an instruction to select teaching material data is received from the teacher user (for example, when the timetable data is displayed and the teacher clicks on the class time for which the teaching material data is to be selected).

[0027] FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a selection screen for teaching material data collected based on a lesson item in a timetable. The teaching material data collection unit 13 collects teaching material data using the keyword "Elementary school sixth grade, arithmetic, how to calculate volume," which is the lesson item for the first period on Monday, February 5th. As a result, three teaching materials that match the keyword are collected from textbook data and websites. 1 indicates the corresponding location in the textbook data, and 2 and 3 indicate learning sites on the Internet. The teacher user checks the collected teaching material data, and if there is teaching material data that may be used, he or she clicks "Bookmark" to select it. The selected teaching material data is checked. Then, by pressing "Confirm," the teaching material data related to the lesson item is confirmed.

[0028] The registered teaching material storage unit 15 stores the teaching material data selected by the teacher user in association with the teaching item. By registering the teaching item and the teaching material data selected by the teacher user in association with each other, the teacher user can instantly check the necessary teaching material data related to his / her own teaching item. The registered teaching material data may be displayed by clicking on the lesson time in the timetable data, or may be configured to be displayed by listing the teaching items and accessing the list.

[0029] Furthermore, when the teacher user starts up the terminal or at a predetermined time, timetable data (for example, the timetable for that day) may be popped up so that the teacher user can check the registered teaching materials that he or she has bookmarked. Also, before the teacher user's lesson starts (for example, 15 minutes before), information on the teaching material data registered for that lesson may be popped up on the teacher user's terminal screen. This allows the teacher user to check the registered teaching materials for the lesson without having to go through the trouble of searching before the lesson.

[0030] The viewing control unit 16 receives an instruction from the teacher user and outputs the teaching material data associated with the teaching item to the terminals of the student users who belong to a predetermined group. Specifically, when the teacher user is teaching a lesson, the viewing control unit 16 outputs the teaching material data to the terminals of the students in the group that the teacher user is in charge of. The student user terminal 30 allows the teaching material data selected by the teacher user to be viewed on the terminal screen.

[0031] Regarding the output of teaching material data to the student user terminal 30, the terminal screen of the student user terminal 30 may be shared with the terminal screen of the teacher user terminal 20 to distribute the teaching material data, or information regarding the access destination for the teaching material data may be sent to the student user terminal 30, and the student user may access the access destination to view the teaching material data.

[0032] The viewing control unit 16 may also output a test based on the teaching items to the student user terminal 30 and receive answer results from the student user terminal 30. The received answer results may then be analyzed and displayed on the terminal screen of the teacher user terminal 20.

[0033] Regarding test creation, questions related to the training items can be input to the generation AI server by communicating with the generation AI server, which has a learning model that has learned information on the network and programming languages ​​and automatically generates answers to user inputs, and the questions created by the learning model of the generation AI can be used as the test. Also, questions related to the training items can be selected from a database that stores various learning tests and used as the test.

[0034] FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the display on the teacher user terminal 20 when registered teaching material data is output during a lesson. Two teaching material data registered by the teacher user for the teaching item are displayed. If the teacher user wants to share the teaching material with the student user, the teaching material data is output to the student user terminal 30 by clicking "Share." To stop sharing, the teacher user clicks "Stop sharing."

[0035] Furthermore, if a test is to be conducted during a lesson to test the students' understanding of the teaching items, the test can be created by clicking the "Create Test" button. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a test created according to a teaching item, in which a test on "Elementary School Year 6, Arithmetic, How to Calculate Volume" is created. By clicking "Send Test," test data is sent to the student user terminal 30, allowing the student users to answer. The teacher user can edit the content of the test by clicking "Change Content." After answering, the student users of the student user terminal 30 send the answer results to the teacher user terminal 20.

[0036] The viewing control unit 16 receives the answer results received from the student user terminal 30 and analyzes the scores, average scores, highest scores, lowest scores, etc. of each student user. The teacher user can check the test analysis results by clicking "Test Analysis" (FIG. 4).

[0037] Next, the operation of the information processing device 10 according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the information processing method according to this embodiment (see FIG. 1 as appropriate).

[0038] The timetable data setting unit 11 sets timetable data indicating the allocation of implementation time for the teaching items of the teacher user (S10).

[0039] The teaching material data collection unit 13 collects teaching material data according to the teaching items set in the timetable (S11).

[0040] The teaching material selection unit 14 receives the teacher user's selection of the collected teaching material data (S12). The registered teaching material storage unit 15 stores the selected teaching material data in association with the teaching item.

[0041] When the teacher user has set the teaching material data to be shared, the viewing control unit 16 outputs the selected teaching material data to the student user terminal 30 (S13).

[0042] According to the information processing device of each of the above-described embodiments, teaching material data is collected according to the teaching items set in the teacher's timetable, and the teaching material data selected by the teacher is stored in association with the teaching items, thereby reducing the burden on the teacher in preparing for and conducting lessons.
