[Figure 7] This figure shows an example of how the remaining time is displayed. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0023] The embodiments of this disclosure will be described below. (Summary of the embodiment) Referring to Figure 1, the outline and configuration of this embodiment will be described. The following description will primarily focus on an example where the language test is in English and the text corresponding to the test audio is in English. However, the language test is not limited to this; it may also be in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, French, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, etc. Furthermore, the text corresponding to the test audio may be in a language corresponding to the test content.

[0024] The technology for providing accommodations for language test takers according to this embodiment is implemented by the information processing device 10. The information processing device 10 is any device that outputs and displays information. For example, a general-purpose electronic device such as a display device, projector, or personal computer, or a dedicated electronic device, can be used as the information processing device 10.

[0025] First, an overview of this embodiment will be described, and details will be described later. The information processing device 10 displays the text corresponding to the audio read aloud in the listening test questions, scrolling it from the first end to the second end of the display area in the reverse direction of writing at a predetermined speed. The information processing device 10 also sequentially hides the portion of the text that reaches the second end. Furthermore, when the end of the text reaches the second end, the information processing device 10 displays the remaining time until the next question of the above question is selected.

[0026] The text is at least one sentence that corresponds to the audio read aloud in the listening test questions. For example, the text may include a dialogue between multiple people and a question that tests comprehension of the dialogue.

[0027] The writing direction refers to the direction in which characters are written. In languages ​​such as English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, French, and Italian, characters are written horizontally from left to right. Therefore, in these languages, the writing direction is horizontal from left to right. In languages ​​with two writing directions, horizontal and vertical, the writing direction may be the direction of vertical writing or the direction of horizontal writing. In this embodiment, we will describe the case where the writing direction is horizontal from left to right.

[0028] The first and second ends of the display area are determined based on the writing direction. Specifically, the first end is the end located at the end of the writing, and the second end is the end located at the beginning of the writing. When the writing direction is horizontal from left to right, the first and second ends of the display area are the right end and the left end, respectively. In other words, the information processing device 10 displays the text flowing from the right end to the left end of the display area in the opposite direction of the writing (horizontal from right to left) at a predetermined speed. The information processing device 10 also sequentially hides the portion of the text that reaches the left end. Furthermore, when the end of the text reaches the left end, the information processing device 10 displays the remaining time until the next question is displayed.

[0029] As described above, according to this embodiment, the information processing device 10 displays text corresponding to the audio read aloud in the listening test questions, scrolling from the first end to the second end of the display area in the reverse direction of writing at a predetermined speed. Therefore, even test-takers with hearing impairments can grasp the content of the audio by visually viewing the displayed text. Furthermore, the information processing device 10 sequentially hides the portion of the text that reaches the second end. This allows the test-taker to visually view the information in the order in which the text is displayed, making it difficult for them to reread the text, thus enabling the measurement of an ability equivalent to listening ability. Moreover, when the end of the text reaches the second end, the information processing device 10 displays the remaining time until the next question is displayed. This encourages the test-taker to prepare their answer to the next question, improving convenience. In this way, the technology for providing accommodations for test-takers with hearing impairments is improved.

[0030] Next, we will describe in detail each component of the information processing device 10.

[0031] (Configuration of information processing device) As shown in Figure 2, the information processing device 10 comprises a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, an input unit 13, a display unit 14, a speaker 15, and a communication unit 16.

[0032] The control unit 11 includes at least one processor, at least one dedicated circuit, or a combination thereof. The processor is a general-purpose processor such as a CPU (central processing unit) or GPU (graphics processing unit), or a dedicated processor specialized for a specific process. The dedicated circuit is, for example, an FPGA (field-programmable gate array) or an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit). The control unit 11 controls each part of the information processing device 10 and executes processes related to the operation of the information processing device 10.

[0033] The storage unit 12 includes at least one semiconductor memory, at least one magnetic memory, at least one optical memory, or at least two combinations thereof. The semiconductor memory is, for example, RAM (random access memory) or ROM (read-only memory). The RAM is, for example, SRAM (static random access memory) or DRAM (dynamic random access memory). The ROM is, for example, EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory). The storage unit 12 functions, for example, as a main memory, auxiliary memory, or cache memory. The storage unit 12 stores data used for the operation of the information processing device 10 and data obtained by the operation of the information processing device 10.

[0034] The input unit 13 includes at least one input interface. The input interface may be, for example, a physical key, a capacitive key, a pointing device, or a touchscreen integrated with a display. Alternatively, the input interface may be, for example, a sound sensor that accepts voice input, or a camera that accepts gesture input. The input unit 13 accepts operations to input data used for the operation of the information processing device 10. Instead of being integrated into the information processing device 10, the input unit 13 may be connected to the information processing device 10 as an external input device. Any connection method can be used, for example, USB (Universal Serial Bus), HDMI (registered trademark) (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), or Bluetooth (registered trademark).

[0035] The display unit 14 includes at least one display output interface. The display output interface is, for example, a display that outputs information as an image to a display area. The display is, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display) or an organic EL (electroluminescence) display. The display unit 14 displays and outputs data obtained by the operation of the information processing device 10. Instead of being provided in the information processing device 10, the display unit 14 may be connected to the information processing device 10 as an external display output device. Any connection method can be used, for example, USB, HDMI (registered trademark), or Bluetooth (registered trademark).

[0036] Speaker 15 outputs beeps and also outputs information in voice. Speaker 15 can be implemented as an internal or externally connected type. Instead of being provided in the information processing device 10, speaker 15 may be connected to the information processing device 10 as an external audio output device. Any connection method can be used, such as USB or Bluetooth®.

[0037] The communication unit 16 includes at least one external communication interface. The communication interface may be either a wired or wireless communication interface. In the case of wired communication, the communication interface may be, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) interface or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. In the case of wireless communication, the communication interface may be, for example, an interface compatible with mobile communication standards such as LTE (Long Term Evolution), 4G (4th generation), or 5G (5th generation), or an interface compatible with short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). The communication unit 16 receives data used in the operation of the information processing device 10 and transmits data obtained by the operation of the information processing device 10.

[0038] The functions of the information processing device 10 are realized by executing the program according to this embodiment on a processor corresponding to the control unit 11. In other words, the functions of the information processing device 10 are realized by software. The program causes the computer to perform the operations of the information processing device 10, thereby causing the computer to function as the information processing device 10. That is, the computer functions as the information processing device 10 by performing the operations of the information processing device 10 according to the program.

[0039] In this embodiment, the program can be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium includes non-temporary computer-readable media, such as magnetic recording devices, optical discs, magneto-optical recording media, or semiconductor memory. The program can be distributed, for example, by selling, transferring, or lending portable recording media such as DVDs (digital versatile discs) or CD-ROMs (compact disc read-only memory) on which the program is recorded. Alternatively, the program may be distributed by storing it on the storage of an external server and transmitting it from the external server to other computers. The program may also be provided as a program product.

[0040] Some or all of the functions of the information processing device 10 may be implemented by a dedicated circuit corresponding to the control unit 11. In other words, some or all of the functions of the information processing device 10 may be implemented by hardware.

[0041] (Operation of information processing device) Referring to Figure 2, the operation of the information processing device 10 according to this embodiment will be described.

[0042] Step S1: The control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 displays, via the display unit 14, the text corresponding to the audio read aloud in the listening test questions, flowing from the first end to the second end of the display area in the reverse direction of writing at a predetermined speed.

[0043] The specified speed corresponds to the speed at which the audio is read aloud in the listening comprehension questions. For example, the specified speed may be approximately 200 pixels / second, assuming the reverse direction of writing is considered positive. However, the specified speed is not limited to this and may be adjusted as appropriate based on the difficulty of the test, the content displayed, the size of the display area, the font size, etc. The font used for the text may also be adjusted as appropriate depending on the size of the test venue, etc.

[0044] Figures 3A to 3C show an example of the transition of display content in the display area 110. Hereinafter, the display unit 14 will show an example of the transition of display content in the display area 110 of the display 100. In Figures 3A to 3C, the display content for one second is shown from the point when the text begins to flow at a predetermined speed in the reverse direction of writing from the first end 111 (here, the right end) to the second end 112 (here, the left end) of the display area 110. The text includes a dialogue between multiple people and a question sentence that follows the dialogue, relating to the content of the dialogue. The first sentence of the text is "☆Hello, I'd like to make a change to my hotel reservation." and the question sentence is "☆☆Question: What does the man tell the woman?" Here, the symbol shown above (here, a star mark) may be placed at the beginning of each sentence. Such a symbol makes it easy to distinguish between the speakers of the dialogue and the question sentence. The symbol is not limited to a star mark and may be any symbol. In other words, the text may include letters, numbers, symbols, or combinations thereof to distinguish between dialogue and questions.

[0045] As shown in Figure 3A, the beginning of the text 200, which flows at a predetermined speed from the first end 111 to the second end 112 of the display area 110, is displayed. Text to the right of the first end 111 is not displayed. In other words, text located to the right of the first end 111 is hidden. Figure 3B shows the display content 0.5 seconds after Figure 3A. As shown in Figure 3B, the text 200 is displayed flowing at a predetermined speed in the reverse direction of writing, so the position of the text 200 has moved to the left from Figure 3A. Figure 3C shows the display content 0.5 seconds after Figure 3B. As shown in Figure 3C, the text 200 is displayed flowing at a predetermined speed in the reverse direction of writing, so the position of the text 200 has moved to the left from Figure 3B.

[0046] Here, the aspect ratio of the text display font is adjusted according to a predetermined speed. Specifically, the text display font is adjusted in the writing direction (in this case, the horizontal direction) based on a magnification ratio corresponding to the predetermined speed. For example, if the predetermined speed is approximately 200 pixels / second, the writing direction is magnified to 130% of the standard display font. On the other hand, the direction perpendicular to the writing direction (in this case, the vertical direction) is not magnified from the standard font. In other words, in this embodiment, the text display font is magnified horizontally by a predetermined magnification ratio. This improves the ease of distinguishing characters that are flowing in the opposite direction to the writing direction. Note that the magnification ratio is not limited to this and may be changed as appropriate according to the predetermined speed.

[0047] Step S2: The control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 sequentially hides the portion of the text that has reached the second end.

[0048] Figures 4A to 4C show an example of the transition of the display content in the display area 110. Figures 4A to 4C show the display content for 1 second from the point before part of the text reaches the second end 112. As shown in Figure 4A, text 200 is displayed flowing at a predetermined speed from the first end 111 to the second end 112 of the display area 110. As mentioned above, the text to the right of the first end 111 is not displayed. Here, the text 200 has not yet reached the second end 112. Figure 4B shows the display content 0.5 seconds after Figure 4A. As shown in Figure 4B, the text 200 is displayed flowing at a predetermined speed in the opposite direction of writing, so the position of the text 200 has moved to the left from Figure 4A. As a result, part of the text reaches the second end 112, and the parts that have reached it are sequentially hidden. Figure 4C shows the display content 0.5 seconds after Figure 4B. As shown in Figure 4C, the text 200 is displayed flowing in the reverse direction of writing at a predetermined speed, causing the position of the text 200 to move to the left from Figure 4B. As a result, a portion of the text reaches the second end 112, and the portion that reaches it is sequentially hidden.

[0049] Step S3: The control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 displays, via the display unit 14, the remaining time until the next question is displayed when the end of the text reaches the second end.

[0050] Figures 5A to 5C show an example of the transition of the display content in the display area 110. Figures 5A to 5C show the display content from 1 second before the end of the text reaches the second end, to the point when it reaches the second end. As shown in Figure 5A, text 200 is displayed flowing at a predetermined speed from the first end 111 to the second end 112 of the display area 110. Here, the end of the text 200 has not yet reached the second end 112. The portion of the text that has reached the second end 112 is sequentially hidden. Figure 5B shows the display content 0.5 seconds after Figure 5A. As shown in Figure 5B, the text 200 is displayed flowing at a predetermined speed in the opposite direction of writing, so the position of the text 200 has moved to the left from Figure 5A. As a result, a portion of the end of the text has reached the second end 112, and the portion that has reached it is sequentially hidden. Figure 5C shows the display content 0.5 seconds after Figure 5B. Figure 5C shows the display content when the end of the above text reaches the second end. As shown in Figure 5C, during this period, the remaining time until the next question is displayed in the center of the display area. As shown in Figure 4C, the remaining time may be, for example, 15 seconds. This remaining time is displayed as a countdown as time passes. The length of the remaining time is not limited to this and may be adjusted as appropriate based on the difficulty of the test, etc.

[0051] As described above, the information processing device 10 according to this embodiment displays text corresponding to the audio read aloud in the listening test questions, scrolling from the first end to the second end of the display area in the reverse direction of writing at a predetermined speed. The information processing device 10 also sequentially hides the portion of the text that reaches the second end. Furthermore, when the end of the text reaches the second end, the information processing device 10 displays the remaining time until the question changes to the next question.

[0052] With this configuration, even test-takers with hearing impairments can understand the content of the audio by visually viewing the displayed text. Furthermore, the information processing device 10 sequentially hides the portion of the text as it reaches the second end. This allows the test-taker to visually view the information in the order it is displayed, making it difficult for them to reread the text, thus enabling the measurement of an ability equivalent to listening comprehension. In addition, when the end of the text reaches the second end, the information processing device 10 displays the remaining time until the next question is displayed. This encourages the test-taker to prepare their answer to the next question, improving convenience. In this way, the technology for providing accommodations for test-takers with hearing impairments is improved, as it allows for the provision of a test that is considerate of test-takers with hearing impairments.

[0053] Figure 6 shows the effect of the consideration technology according to this embodiment. As shown in Figure 6, text 200 is displayed in the display area 110, and the text 200 is displayed flowing in the opposite direction of the writing direction indicated by the arrow 300 (here, horizontally from right to left). In addition, the portion 201 of the text 200 to the left of the second end 112 is not displayed. Also, the portion 202 of the text 200 to the right of the first end 111 is not displayed. In other words, only the portion of the text 200 between the first end 111 and the second end 112 is displayed. Therefore, it encourages the test taker to receive the information in the order in which the text is displayed, and it is also difficult to reread the text, so it is possible to measure an ability equivalent to listening ability.

[0054] Furthermore, as mentioned above, the aspect ratio of the text display font is adjusted according to the predetermined speed, thus preventing the text from becoming difficult for test-takers to read as it scrolls at the predetermined speed.

[0055] While this disclosure has been described based on the drawings and embodiments, it should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various modifications and alterations based on this disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and alterations are within the scope of this disclosure. For example, the functions, etc., included in each component or step can be rearranged in a logically consistent manner, and multiple components or steps can be combined into one or divided into two.

[0056] For example, if the remaining time until the next question is less than a threshold (e.g., less than 3 seconds), the control unit 11 may output an alert. Any method can be used to output the alert. For example, as shown in Figure 7, the control unit 11 may output an alert by changing the background color of the display area that shows the remaining time. For example, the background color of the display area may be changed from green to red. By changing the background color of the display area in this way, the examinee's attention can be visually attracted. Alternatively, the control unit 11 may output an alert by outputting a buzzer sound through the speaker 15. If the buzzer sound is loud enough to match the degree of hearing impairment, the examinee's attention can be attracted audibly. The alert may also be a combination of the above. That is, the control unit 11 may visually and audibly attract the examinee's attention by changing the background color of the display area and outputting a buzzer sound.

[0057] Furthermore, for example, if the remaining time mentioned above is calculated by turning pages, and the pages corresponding to one question and the next are on different pages, a certain amount of time may be added. This allows for a fairer evaluation by taking into account the time lost when the examinee turns pages.

[0058] Furthermore, for example, in the case of the listening test questions mentioned above, if the audio read aloud is related to a dialogue, the speakers in the text may be displayed in a distinguishable manner. For example, the speakers in the text may be displayed in a distinguishable manner by using different font colors. Specifically, for example, if the speakers are male and female, the text may be displayed in blue and yellow, respectively. Alternatively, the speakers in the text may be displayed in a distinguishable manner by indicating the speakers' names. Alternatively, letters, numbers, symbols, or combinations thereof indicating the gender of the speaker may be shown at the beginning of the text. In this way, test takers can more clearly grasp what each speaker is saying and improve their comprehension.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, for example, an example was shown where text corresponding to the audio read aloud in a listening test question is displayed in the display area. However, information other than text may also be displayed in the display area. For example, an image of the speaker's face, including their mouth, corresponding to the audio, may be displayed along with the text. Alternatively, for example, an image of sign language corresponding to the audio may be displayed along with the text. By doing so, a test environment that closely resembles an actual listening situation can be provided, allowing for a more realistic assessment of communication skills.

[0060] Furthermore, although this embodiment describes the case where the writing direction is horizontal from left to right, it is not limited to this. The writing direction may be horizontal from right to left, for example. For example, in Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian, characters are written horizontally from right to left, so when displaying text in these languages, the text is displayed by flowing it from the first end to the second end of the display area in the opposite direction of writing at a predetermined speed. In this case, the first end and the second end of the display area are the left end and the right end, respectively. In this case, the information processing device 10 displays the text by flowing it from the left end to the right end of the display area in the opposite direction of writing (horizontal from left to right) at a predetermined speed. The information processing device 10 also sequentially hides the portion of the text that reaches the right end. Furthermore, when the end of the text reaches the right end, the information processing device 10 displays the remaining time until the next question is displayed.

[0061] Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, it is also possible to have an embodiment in which the configuration and operation of the information processing device 10 are distributed among multiple computers that can communicate with each other. [Explanation of symbols]
