[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the illustrated examples. In the following description, those having the same function and configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

[0011] [Embodiment] [Overview] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided an information processing device for learning transactions in a virtual society in order to learn the social structure. The information processing device includes a display control unit that displays the flow of money among a user assigned to an operator who operates the information processing device, an organization to which the user belongs, and a public institution.

[0012] Thus, the information processing device displays the flow of money among the user, the organization to which the user belongs, and the public institution. As a result, the learner can perform experiential learning through the flow of money among the user, the organization, and the public institution that constitute the virtual society, so that the learner can appropriately perform experiential learning that has a connection with society.

[0013] [First Embodiment] <Structure of a virtual city> Figure 1 shows an example of the configuration of an experiential booth that constitutes a virtual city according to this embodiment. In the virtual city, there exist virtual private companies (hereinafter simply referred to as "companies") and virtual public institutions. Learners (typically elementary or junior high school students) role-play as members belonging to such companies or public institutions. Through interactions with other learners and other individuals, and through tasks involving the movement of people, goods, money, and information, learners can learn about the workings of society in an active and interactive manner.

[0014] As shown in Figure 1, a virtual city T, an example of a virtual local government, consists of experiential booths 10-1 to 10-N for experiential learning about the workings of society. These experiential booths are set up in facilities such as gymnasiums, community centers, and auditoriums.

[0015] In the example shown in Figure 1, booth 10-1 is a space for experiencing work related to city hall, booth 10-2 is a space for experiencing work related to schools, and booth 10-3 is a space for experiencing work related to electricity, gas, and water. Furthermore, booth 10-4 is a space for experiencing work related to construction, booth 10-5 is a space for experiencing work related to transportation, and booth 10-6 is a space for experiencing work related to commerce. Additionally, booth 10-7 is a space for experiencing work related to finance, booth 10-8 is a space for experiencing work related to manufacturing, and booth 10-N is a space for experiencing work related to newspapers and media.

[0016] Each of the experiential booths 10-1 through 10-N contains a virtual company, public institution, or organization to which the members (person in charge) who perform the respective tasks belong. When each learner participates in the experiential learning, they are assigned a role that one of these members would play and perform the tasks corresponding to that role.

[0017] Learners studying the workings of society can engage in experiential learning using the learning support devices described later in the corresponding experiential booths in order to fulfill their assigned roles.

[0018] <Configuration of the learning support system> Figure 2 shows an example of the configuration of the learning support system according to this embodiment.

[0019] The learning support system 1 comprises learning support devices 100-1 to 100-M and a management device 200. The learning support devices 100-1 to 100-M and the management device 200 are connected to each other via a communication network CN, and the learning support devices 100-1 to 100-M are also connected to each other via the communication network CN. The communication network CN may be a LAN including a wired LAN (Local Area Network) and a wireless LAN, the Internet, an intranet, a VPN (Virtual Private Network), a mobile communication network, or a combination thereof. When it is not necessary to distinguish between the learning support devices 100-1 to 100-M, these learning support devices are collectively referred to as learning support device 100.

[0020] The learning support system 1 (learning support device 100 (learning support program installed in learning support device 100) and management device 200) provides a learning program for learning about the workings of society, in which multiple learners participate. The learning support system 1 is a system for studying transactions in a virtual society in order to learn about the workings of society, and the learning support device 100 (learning support program) and management device 200 are devices (programs) for studying transactions in a virtual society in order to learn about the workings of society.

[0021] The learning support device 100 is used by learners who are learning about the workings of society and assists them in learning about the workings of society. The learning support device 100 may achieve this assistance through a learning support program installed on the learning support device 100. The learning support device 100 is implemented by a computer or information processing device such as a tablet, a notebook PC (Personal Computer), or a wearable device such as a head-mounted display. Each of the learning support devices 100-1 to 100-M is located in one of the experience booths 10-1 to 10-N shown in Figure 1.

[0022] The management device 200 may be a device used by an operator running a learning program for learning about the workings of society (e.g., a tablet, a laptop PC, etc.), or it may be a server device installed in the cloud. The management device 200 manages the learning support devices 100-1 to 100-M by associating them with the experience booths where they are located and the corresponding virtual companies and public institutions, etc., and storing and maintaining this information in the storage device 301 of the management device 200, as described later. The management device 200 also stores in the storage device 301 all the jobs (tasks) that learners experience related to all the virtual companies, public institutions, organizations, etc. that exist in the virtual city T, (along with the time slots in which the tasks are performed, if necessary). The management device 200 also stores in the storage device 301 various account information, as described later, as well as the various account information described later. Furthermore, the management device 200 stores the learner's participation history in the learning program (such as which experience booths, which companies, etc., the learner's role as a member in the past) along with learner identification information in the management device 200's storage device 301. The management device 200 also stores in the management device 200's storage device 301 any precautions the learner should take when performing the work processes described below. The above information stored by the management device 200 in the management device 200's storage device 301 is synchronized between the learning support device 100 and the management device 200, and is also stored in the learning support device 100's storage device 301, as described later.

[0023] <Device Configuration> Figure 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the device according to this embodiment. An example of device 300 includes a learning support device 100 and a management device 200.

[0024] For example, as shown in Figure 3, the device 300 includes a storage device 301, a processing device 302, a user interface (UI) device 303, a communication device 304, and a bus 305. The storage device 301, processing device 302, UI device 303, and communication device 304 may be interconnected via the bus 305.

[0025] The programs or instructions that implement the functions and processes of the device 300 described above and later may be downloaded from some external device (e.g., a server) via a network or the like. Alternatively, such programs or instructions may be provided from a removable storage medium such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory) or flash memory.

[0026] The storage device 301 is implemented using RAM (Random Access Memory), flash memory, a hard disk drive, etc., and stores installed programs or instructions, as well as files, data, etc., used to execute the programs or instructions.

[0027] The processing unit 302 may be implemented by, for example, a general-purpose processor or controller (circuit), or by a dedicated processor or controller. When implemented by a general-purpose processor, the processing unit 302 may be implemented by one or more CPUs (Central Processing Units), GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), processing circuits, etc., which may consist of one or more processor cores. In this case, the processing unit 302 executes the functions and processes of the device 300 described above and later, according to the program or instructions stored in the storage device 301, data such as parameters used to execute the program or instructions, etc. Such a program (the learning support program described above) may be a program that causes the computer or processing unit 302 to function as the device 300 according to this disclosure when executed by the computer or processing unit 302. Alternatively, such a program may be a program that causes the computer or processing unit 302 to execute the learning support method (processing) according to this disclosure when executed by the computer or processing unit 302.

[0028] The UI device 303 may consist of input devices such as a keyboard, mouse, camera, and microphone; output devices such as a display, speaker, headset, and printer; and input / output devices such as a haptic device and a touch panel, and realizes an interface between the user of device 300 and device 300. For example, the user operates device 300 by operating a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on a display or touch panel using their finger, pen, keyboard, mouse, etc.

[0029] The communication device 304 is implemented by various communication circuits that perform communication processing with external devices, the Internet, LAN, VPN, and other communication networks.

[0030] The hardware configuration of the apparatus 300 described above is merely an example, and the apparatus 300 according to this disclosure may be implemented by other suitable hardware configurations.

[0031] Figure 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the learning support device according to this embodiment.

[0032] For example, as shown in Figure 4, the learning support device 100 includes a generation unit 401, an output control unit 402, a modification unit 403, an evaluation reception unit 404, and a display unit 451. The generation unit 401, the output control unit 402, the modification unit 403, and the evaluation reception unit 404 may be implemented as hardware by the processing unit 302, as software (for example, a dedicated application), or as a combination of hardware and software. Hereinafter, the above-described functional units will be explained assuming they are implemented as a dedicated application (learning support program). The display unit 451 is implemented by a display included in the UI device 303.

[0033] The generation unit 401 generates a work schedule that shows work processes, including related work processes, which are set up so that the tasks performed by multiple learners are interconnected, based on the interrelationships of the work content corresponding to the multiple roles assigned to each of the multiple learners participating in a learning program to learn about the workings of society. The generation unit 401 outputs the generated work schedule to the output control unit 402.

[0034] The above roles are those performed by personnel within virtual companies (for example, virtual companies located in experience booths 10-4, 10-8, etc.), public institutions (for example, virtual public institutions located in experience booths 10-1, 10-3, etc.), or organizations (for example, organizations located in experience booths 10-3, 10-6, etc.) that are included in a virtual local government (for example, virtual city T).

[0035] For example, the generation unit 401 receives information from the management device 200 via the communication device 304 of the learning support device 100 that indicates the entire scope of work stored in the storage device 301 of the management device 200. Based on the received information indicating the entire scope of work, information indicating members belonging to a virtual company, etc. in the experience booth where the learning support device 100 is located, and information indicating other members belonging to a virtual company, etc. in the same experience booth or other experience booths, the generation unit 401 generates a work schedule that includes related work processes set up so that the work performed by multiple learners is interconnected. Here, members belonging to a virtual company, etc. in the experience booth where the learning support device 100 is located refer to the person in charge of the role assigned to the learner operating the learning support device 100. Also, other members belonging to a virtual company, etc. in the same experience booth or other experience booths refer to other people in charge of other roles assigned to other learners operating other learning support devices 100. The generation unit 401 may extract identical work content from the information representing the entire work content received and set such identical work content as related work processes. Alternatively, the generation unit 401 may also receive tasks, keywords, etc., set (stored) in the management device 200 from the management device 200, extract work content that matches the received tasks, keywords, etc., from the information representing the entire work content received, and set such matching work content as related work processes. In the example described below, it is assumed that related work processes are set based on tasks.

[0036] The output control unit 402 outputs the work schedule generated by the generation unit 401. The output control unit 402 may output the work schedule by displaying the generated work schedule on the display unit 451 as text, a still image, a moving image, etc., or by printing the generated work schedule on a printer (not shown). In the former case, the output control unit 402 may be called the display control unit, and in the latter case, the output control unit 402 may be called the print control unit. Additionally or alternatively, the output control unit 402 may output the work schedule by voice to the speaker included in the UI device 303. In the following, the information output control by the output control unit 402 includes information display control, information print control, etc. Examples of work schedules displayed on the display unit 451, etc., will be described later with reference to Figures 5 and 6.

[0037] The output control unit 402 further outputs precautions for the learner when performing the aforementioned work process. These precautions may include how to deal with situations where the learner deviates from the work schedule, or they may include advice, hints, and explanations (such as how to speak or what documents to prepare) to ensure the smooth progress of the work process.

[0038] For example, the generation unit 401 receives information indicating precautions stored in the storage device 301 of the management device 200 via the communication device 304 of the learning support device 100. The generation unit 401 then generates precautions for the learner to perform the aforementioned work process based on the received information indicating precautions and the work schedule generated by the generation unit 401. The generation unit 401 outputs the generated precautions to the output control unit 402, and the output control unit 402 outputs the precautions generated by the generation unit 401.

[0039] The output control unit 402 may output (for example, display) to learning support devices 100 or management devices 200 operated by other learners who interact with the learner (for example, other learners assigned to other members of the same company, etc., or other learners in the same experience booth), or to devices (not shown) operated by supervisors who oversee the learner, that the learner has deviated from the work schedule, and / or how to deal with the situation when the learner deviates from the work schedule.

[0040] The precautions or procedures may relate to interactive tasks involving other learners inside or outside the same experience booth, tasks performed by the learner alone, etc.

[0041] The precautions or procedures may also concern the payment of fees incurred each time goods and services are exchanged, such as sales, salaries, living expenses, commission fees, loans, medical fees, income tax, resident tax, corporate tax, and consumption tax, as well as the methods of implementing and confirming income and payments, and tax payments associated with income.

[0042] The precautions or procedures may also pertain to documents (work formats) such as specifications, requests, quotations, contracts, purchase orders, order forms, invoices, receipts, notices, voting slips, ballots, invitations, summonses, schedules for meetings or committees, publicity materials, posters, application forms, review forms, registration forms, medical questionnaires, design specifications, inventory lists for goods or prizes, purchase list, tabulation / record sheets, maps, information analysis sheets, plans, proposals, storyboards, idea generation sheets, questionnaire / hearing / interview sheets, reports, participant lists, etc.

[0043] The generation unit 401 may, in response to a question or doubt entered by the learner via the UI device 303, refer to the received notes or countermeasures and generate appropriate notes or countermeasures as an answer to the question or doubt, and output the generated appropriate notes or countermeasures to the output control unit 402. The appropriate notes or countermeasures may also be answers obtained from an external generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) service by generating a prompt that includes the entered question or doubt and the received notes or countermeasures, and sending the generated prompt to the generative AI service. The output control unit 402 may cause the generation unit 401 to output the appropriate notes or countermeasures generated.

[0044] Examples of precautions displayed on the display unit 451 will be described later with reference to Figures 7 and 9 to 11C.

[0045] Furthermore, the output control unit 402 outputs account information (e.g., transaction history, account balance, etc.) associated with two of the multiple learners. For example, if the above-mentioned related work process includes a transaction involving the exchange of money between the two parties, the output control unit 402 outputs (or updates) account information based on the transaction. Examples of account information displayed on the display unit 451 will be described later with reference to Figure 8.

[0046] Furthermore, the output control unit 402 outputs the evaluation received by the evaluation reception unit 404 (for example, after the completion of the final work process).

[0047] The modification unit 403 modifies the above-mentioned warnings according to the learner's level (e.g., proficiency). For example, the modification unit 403 receives information from the management device 200 via the communication device 304 of the learning support device 100, indicating the learning program participation history stored in the storage device 301 of the management device 200. The modification unit 403 then modifies the warnings based on the received information and the learner operating the learning support device 100. For example, the modification unit 403 modifies the warnings so that abstract warnings (first-level warnings) are output if the learner has participated in the learning program a predetermined number of times (e.g., 3 times) or more, and concrete warnings (second-level warnings) are output otherwise. There may also be multiple thresholds for the number of times the above-mentioned participation is used. In this case, there may be other levels of warnings between the first-level and second-level warnings, or the first-level or second-level warnings may be subdivided into multiple levels. The evaluation received by the evaluation reception unit 404 may also be used as the learner's level. For example, the evaluation may be associated with the learner and stored in the storage device 301 of the management device 200, and the modification unit 403 may change the above notes based on the evaluation associated with the learner received from the management device 200 via the communication device 304 of the learning support device 100. In this case as well, for example, the evaluation may be divided into multiple levels, and the modification unit 403 may change the notes according to the level of the evaluation. Alternatively, the modification unit 403 may change the notes based on the participation history and the evaluation.

[0048] Furthermore, when a transaction related to the exchange of money between the two parties described above occurs, the modification unit 403 modifies the account information based on the transaction and outputs the modified account information to the output control unit 402.

[0049] The evaluation reception unit 404 receives evaluations of the results of a learner performing all or part of the work process. The evaluation reception unit 404 may also receive evaluations (feedback) from the learner themselves. In this case, the evaluation reception unit 404 may receive evaluations via the learning support device 100 operated by the learner. Additionally or alternatively, the evaluation reception unit 404 may receive evaluations from other learners who interact with the learner (for example, other learners assigned to other members of the same company, etc., or other learners in the same experience booth) or from supervisors who oversee the learner. In this case, the evaluation reception unit 404 may receive evaluations via the learning support device 100 operated by other learners or devices operated by supervisors who oversee the learner. The evaluation items received by the evaluation reception unit 404 may be predetermined and provided in a selection format, or they may be free-response, or both. In addition, along with the evaluation items, a score of 0 to 10 points may be selected for each item. Furthermore, if learners achieve results through actions not included in the planned tasks or actions not anticipated, or if they demonstrate their own ingenuity, the evaluator may give them a higher rating (for example, by making it possible to select only those scores of 8 or higher). In such cases, the administrator of the management device 200 can also reflect the actions not included in the planned tasks, actions not anticipated, and learners' own ingenuity in subsequent task settings. The evaluation reception unit 404 may store the received evaluations in the storage device 301 of the learning support device 100, or it may transmit them to the management device 200 via the communication device 304 of the learning support device 100, or it may do both.

[0050] The evaluation reception unit 404 accepts evaluations from learners and may also accept learner behavior logs and videos related to their behavior. The video may be transmitted by the evaluation reception unit 404 to the management device 200 via the communication device 304 of the learning support device 100. Learners can review their learning by using the learning support device 100 or by accessing the management device 200 using another device. Furthermore, operators running the learning program can use the evaluations and videos to improve the instructions and guidelines.

[0051] The display unit 451 displays the work schedule generated by the generation unit 401 under the control of the output control unit 402. The display unit 451 may also display other information.

[0052] <Work Schedule> Next, we will explain the work schedule generated by the generation unit 401.

[0053] Figure 5 shows a first example of a work schedule according to this embodiment. Figure 5 shows an example of a work schedule generated by a hypothetical company, public institution, or organizational unit.

[0054] In the example shown in Figure 5, the hypothetical company is assumed to be Company X, a cable television station. In this example, the roles (members or personnel) assigned to learners are producer, planning and sales, program director, and program planning / MC. In this example, tasks A to C are pre-set (information indicating these tasks is also stored in the storage device 301 of the management device 200), and the generation unit 401 sets the tasks related to each task as related work processes and generates a work schedule 500 that shows the work processes including the related work processes. In this example, the work processes for the producer, planning and sales, program director, and program planning / MC from 9:40 are related work processes related to task A. Also, the work processes for the producer from 9:55, 10:10, and 10:25, and the work processes for the program sales from 10:10 and 10:25 are related work processes related to task B. Furthermore, the work schedules for planning and sales from 9:55, 10:10, and 10:25, the work schedules for the program director from 9:55, and the work schedules for program planning and MC from 9:55, 10:10, and 10:25 are related work schedules to Task C. The generation unit 401 may generate the work schedule 500 in such a manner that the related work schedules are visible. For example, the generation unit 401 may generate the work schedule 500 in such a manner that the backgrounds of the related work schedules to Task A, the related work schedules to Task B, and the related work schedules to Task C are output in different colors.

[0055] Here, let's explain the tasks using Company X as an example. Task A is to learn the mechanisms of video production, Task B is to plan a video to raise disaster prevention awareness, and Task C is to gather sponsors who will support a video to create a safe and secure city. In carrying out Company X's work, its members negotiate and conduct transactions with stakeholders. Specifically, these stakeholders include the disaster prevention council, all other companies, and citizens (the subjects of the video), etc.

[0056] Task B involves a series of tasks, from receiving a request from the disaster prevention council to create a video to raise disaster prevention awareness, to creating the video and making it available for public viewing. In this process, learners assigned by members of Company X (such as producers) will interview the disaster prevention council to understand what kind of video they want, and based on the interview, create a project proposal, storyboards, etc. The learners will then explain the project to the disaster prevention council using the project proposal and storyboards, and incorporate the council's feedback into the project. Finally, the learners will film and edit the video based on the project and make it available for public viewing (including other learners).

[0057] Task C involves not only creating videos in response to requests from the disaster prevention council, but also independently planning to create videos aimed at creating a safe and secure city. This involves a series of tasks to gather sponsors. In this process, learners assigned by members of Company X (planning, sales, etc.) consider what benefits they can offer to companies and individuals who will provide funding, create presentation materials, give presentations, and receive payments from companies and individuals who agree to become sponsors.

[0058] In addition to Company X, learners are assigned members from various companies and organizations present in the experience booths, and they negotiate and conduct transactions with stakeholders through their respective tasks. By learning about connections with others, such as negotiating with stakeholders, learners can learn about "social relationships," which is one of the objectives of this learning program.

[0059] Figure 6 shows a second example of a work schedule according to this embodiment. Figure 6 shows an example of a work schedule (individual schedule) generated for each member constituting a hypothetical company, public institution, or organization.

[0060] In the example shown in Figure 6, the hypothetical company is Company Y, a think tank and system integrator. In this example, the role (member or person in charge) assigned to the learner is Project Manager. In this example, Tasks A and B are pre-configured (information indicating these is also stored in the storage device 301 of the management device 200), and the generation unit 401 sets the work related to each task as related work processes and generates a work schedule 600 showing the work processes including the related work processes. In this example, the work processes of the Project Manager from 9:55 and from 10:10 are related work processes related to Task A. Also, the work process of the Project Manager from 10:40 is related work processes related to Task B. These related work processes related to Task A and related work processes related to Task B are related to work processes of other roles (e.g., System Engineer 1, etc.) that are not shown. The work schedule generated by the hypothetical company, public institution, or organizational unit shown in Figure 5 and the work schedule generated by the member unit shown in Figure 6 may be displayed in a way that allows switching between them via links or tabs when displayed on the display unit 451. Similar to the example shown in Figure 5, the generation unit 401 may generate the work schedule 600 in such a manner that the related work processes can be visually identified.

[0061] Furthermore, the output control unit 402 may perform control to output information to notify the learner of the start and / or end of each time period (referred to as a shift) at the start and / or end of each shift. In this case, the output control unit 402 may output the start and / or end of the shift to the learning support device 100 using video, audio, vibration, etc., or it may output the start and / or end of the shift by vibrating a communication device such as an IoT (Internet of Things) device that the learner has been given in advance, or it may do both. This allows the learner to be encouraged to complete the work process assigned to them.

[0062] <Notes> Next, we will explain the precautions regarding output control by the output control unit 402.

[0063] Figure 7 shows an example of precautions according to this embodiment. In the example shown in Figure 7, the learner operating the learning support device 100 is assumed to be assigned the project manager shown in Figure 6.

[0064] In Figure 7, the output includes three types of cautionary notes: Cautionary Note 701, Cautionary Note 702, and Cautionary Note 703. Cautionary Note 701 concerns the speech to be given when performing the work process starting at 9:20 AM, as shown in Figure 6. Cautionary Note 702 concerns taxes when performing the work process starting at 1:20 PM, as shown in Figure 6. Cautionary Note 703 concerns living expenses when performing a work process starting at a certain time, which is not shown in Figure 6.

[0065] Before explaining the details of Notes 701-703, we will now explain the money flow application (abbreviated as "money flow app") that learners will use in relation to Note 702. The money flow app is a program for studying transactions in a virtual society in order to learn about the workings of society. Note that the money flow app may be included in the learning support program.

[0066] In the money flow application according to this embodiment, the output control unit 402 displays the flow of money between a first user (e.g., a project manager) assigned to an operator (learner) operating the learning support device 100 and a second user (e.g., a hospital staff member) assigned to another operator (learner) operating a different learning support device 100. Specifically, the output control unit 402 displays (or updates) account information corresponding to the first user and account information corresponding to the second user in accordance with the transactions between the first user and the second user in a virtual city T. Transactions between the first user and the second user are performed in accordance with an operation by the operator indicating a transaction to the learning support device 100, or in accordance with an operation by the other operator indicating a transaction to another learning support device 100. Such transactions may be performed in accordance with the completion of a work process related to billing from a certain time.

[0067] Figure 8 shows an example of the display screen for the money flow application according to this embodiment.

[0068] In the example shown in Figure 8, the display screen 800 displays account information 801 for a role assigned to a learner operating the learning support device 100 (first user; project manager), and account information 802 for a role assigned to another learner operating another learning support device 100 who conducts transactions with the project manager (second user; hospital staff). The display screen 800 also displays account information 803 for the virtual city hall of the virtual city T. Here, let's assume that the transaction between the first user and the second user is a payment of a certain amount from the second user to the first user. Then, in response to the transaction (or the operation indicating the transaction), the output control unit 402 displays in the transaction history included in account information 801 that a certain amount has been deposited into the account, in the transaction history included in account information 802 that the sum of a certain amount and the consumption tax amount on that amount has been withdrawn from the account, and in the transaction history included in account information 803 that the consumption tax amount has been deposited into the account. For details regarding the operation of the money flow application, including the calculation of consumption tax, please refer to the second embodiment, as it is the same as in the second embodiment. The output control unit 402 updates the display of the account balance included in account information 801 by adding a certain amount if account information 801 is already displayed, updates the display of the account balance included in account information 802 by subtracting the total amount if account information 802 is already displayed, and updates the display of the account balance included in account information 803 by adding the consumption tax amount if account information 803 is already displayed. In this transaction, the same information is displayed not only on the learning support device 100 but also on another learning support device 100.

[0069] Furthermore, transactions between the first user (or second user) and public institutions may take place, such as the issuance of resident registration certificates and the transfer of related fees.

[0070] The updating (modification) of account information itself is performed by the modification unit 403, as described in the second embodiment.

[0071] The first or second user may be a representative of a public institution.

[0072] Furthermore, the output control unit 402 may display instruction information regarding the amount and timing of withdrawal from the first user's account in the above transaction.

[0073] To briefly summarize the operation of the money transfer application according to this embodiment, the output control unit 402 simultaneously displays the account information of the first user, the account information of the second user, and the account information of the public institution. The modification unit 403 modifies two of the account information of the first user, the account information of the second user, and the account information of the public institution, corresponding to two of the first user, the second user, and the public institution, based on transactions between two of the first user, the second user, and the public institution. As a result, the output control unit 402 simultaneously displays two of the modified account information of the first user, the account information of the second user, and the account information of the public institution, and one of the unmodified account information of the first user, the account information of the second user, and the account information of the public institution.

[0074] In this embodiment, when a learner conducts transactions with multiple other learners who operate multiple different learning support devices 100 in the learning program, account information corresponding to each of the multiple other learners is displayed as account information 802.

[0075] Thus, with the money flow app according to this embodiment, learners can learn about the movement of money in experiential learning and appropriately conduct experiential learning that connects with society.

[0076] Let's return to the explanation of the precautions. Figure 9 shows a first detailed example of the precautions according to this embodiment. The detail of the precaution 900 shown in Figure 9 corresponds to the "speech hints" included in the precaution 701 in Figure 7. The detail of the precaution 900 includes precautions regarding the speech when the learner performs the work process from 9:20 shown in Figure 6.

[0077] Figure 10 shows a second detailed example of the precautions according to this embodiment. The detail of precaution 1000 shown in Figure 10 corresponds to the precaution regarding "payment methods for income tax and resident tax" included in precaution 702 in Figure 7. The detail of precaution 1000 includes the tax-related precautions (work procedure) when performing the work process from 13:20 shown in Figure 6.

[0078] Figure 11A shows a third detailed example of the precautions according to this embodiment. The detail 1100A of the precautions shown in Figure 11A is a contract format (an example of a work format) that may be used when performing a work process from a certain time that is not shown in Figure 6. When performing a work process related to a contract, learners can refer to the contract format shown in Figure 11A as a precaution and create a contract.

[0079] Figure 11B shows a fourth detailed example of the precautions according to this embodiment. The detail 1100B of the precautions shown in Figure 11B is an invoice format (an example of a work format) that may be used when performing a work process from a certain time that is not shown in Figure 6. When performing a work process related to billing, learners can refer to the invoice format shown in Figure 11B as a precaution and create an invoice.

[0080] Figure 11C shows a fifth detailed example of the precautions according to this embodiment. The detail of the precaution shown in Figure 11C is an invoice format (an example of a work format) that may be used when performing a work process from a certain time that is not shown in Figure 6. When a learner performs a work process related to planning (or requirements definition), they can refer to the proposal format shown in Figure 11C as a precaution and create a proposal.

[0081] <Operation of the learning support device> Next, the operation of the learning support device 100 will be explained.

[0082] Figure 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the learning support device 100 according to this embodiment.

[0083] In step S1201, the learning support device 100 generates a work schedule that shows work processes including related work processes, which are set up so that the tasks performed by multiple learners are related to each other, based on the interrelationship of the work content according to the multiple roles assigned to each of the multiple learners.

[0084] In step S1202, the learning support device 100 outputs the work schedule generated in step S1201.

[0085] As explained above, the learning support device 100 generates and outputs a work schedule that shows work processes including related work processes set up so that the tasks performed by multiple learners are interconnected. This allows learners to engage in experiential learning through interaction with other learners while being aware of the tasks that are interconnected with those of other learners, thereby enabling them to appropriately engage in experiential learning that connects them to society.

[0086] (Second embodiment) In the first embodiment, an example was described in which, in the money flow app, when a learner conducts transactions with multiple other learners operating multiple different learning support devices 100, account information corresponding to each of the multiple other learners is displayed as account information 802.

[0087] In contrast, in this embodiment, in the money transfer application, the account information corresponding to account information 802 is fixed to the account information corresponding to a virtual company, public institution, or organization (hereinafter referred to as "organization") to which the member assigned to the learner belongs.

[0088] The second embodiment will be described below, but explanations of the same or similar configurations and operations as in the first embodiment may be omitted. Specifically, the configurations and operations of the second embodiment other than the output control unit 402 and the modification unit 403 are the same or similar as those of the first embodiment, so explanations of these may be omitted.

[0089] In the money flow application according to the second embodiment, the output control unit 402 displays the flow of money between the user (member) assigned to the operator (learner) operating the learning support device 100, the organization to which this user belongs, and the public institution.

[0090] Specifically, the output control unit 402 displays first account information corresponding to the user, second account information corresponding to the organization, and third account information corresponding to the public institution. The modification unit 403 modifies at least one of the first, second, and third account information in response to an operation by the learner on the learning support device 100 indicating a transaction in the virtual city T, and outputs the modified account information to the output control unit 402. In response to the operation indicating the above transaction, the output control unit 402 updates and displays the modified account information output by the modification unit 403, i.e., at least one of the first, second, and third account information.

[0091] Figure 13 shows an example of the display screen for the gold flow application according to this embodiment.

[0092] In the example shown in Figure 13, the display screen 1300 shows the flow of money between the role assigned to the learner operating the learning support device 100 (user; project manager), the organization to which the user belongs (Company Y), and the public institution (city hall) of the virtual city T. More specifically, the display screen 1300 shows the user's account information 1301, the organization's account information 1302, and the public institution's account information 1303. Note that the public institution's account information 1303 may be displayed in common across all money flow applications of the learning support device 100.

[0093] Learners can perform operations on the learning support device 100 to indicate transactions between the user assigned to the learner and other organizations other than the organization to which the user belongs (for example, the user purchasing goods from another organization). The user purchasing goods from another organization involves a transfer of payment for the goods from the user to the other organization. This operation may be realized by the learner pressing a button (for example, button 1315) displayed in the area that displays the user's account information 1301 to transition to a screen for the transaction, and then entering predetermined information (other organization, price of goods, etc.) on the destination screen (for example, the screen shown in Figure 14(a)). Figure 14(b) shows an example of a display screen for confirming the input content.

[0094] Furthermore, learners can perform operations on the learning support device 100 to indicate transactions between the user assigned to the learner and the organization to which that user belongs (for example, salary payments (transfers) from the organization to the user (and other users belonging to the organization). These salary payments (transfers) include the payment (transfer) of income tax and resident tax from the organization to the city hall in connection with the salary payments from the organization to the user (and other users belonging to the organization). In this case, the operation may be realized by the learner pressing a button (for example, button 1325) to transition to a screen for the transaction displayed in the area that displays the organization's account information 1302, and then entering predetermined information (income tax and resident tax, etc.) for the total number of users, including the user and other users, on the destination screen (for example, the screen shown in Figure 15(a)). Figure 15(b) shows an example of a display screen for confirming the input content. For example, in a certain work process, the learning support device 100 outputs (for example, displays) information for salary payments as shown in Figure 16, and the learner performs the salary payment work process based on this information. In the example shown in Figure 16, the total salary payment is "50,000," of which income tax and resident tax are "20,000" and "5,000" respectively, and the amount transferred to the user is "25,000." In this case, regarding resident tax, the learner can pay the resident tax by selecting "Resident Tax" as the expense item, selecting "City Hall" as the transfer destination, selecting the appropriate value as the taxpayer (in Figure 15, "Merchandiser"), entering "5,000" as the transfer amount, and then executing the transfer after confirmation. The same procedure applies to the transfer of income tax and salary, and the learner will perform this operation for each user and other users.

[0095] Furthermore, learners can perform operations on the learning support device 100 to indicate transactions between the organization to which the user assigned to the learner belongs and other organizations (for example, the purchase of goods (raw materials, etc.) from another organization by the organization). The purchase of goods from another organization by the organization involves a transfer of payment for the goods from the organization to the other organization. This operation may be performed in the same way as transactions between the user and other organizations, by the learner pressing a button displayed in the area that displays the organization's account information 1302 to transition to a screen for the transaction, and then entering predetermined information (other organization, price of goods, etc.) on the destination screen.

[0096] The user's account information 1301 includes the user's account balance 1311, the user's transaction history 1312, the total transaction amount (income) 1313 for transactions where the payee is the user, and the total transaction amount (expenses) 1314 for transactions where the payer is the user. The user's transaction history 1312 includes the transaction amount and the expense items associated with the transaction. For expense items subject to consumption tax, the expense item is divided into the cost of goods (or services) and the consumption tax. In this embodiment, the consumption tax is calculated by dividing the transaction amount by 11 and rounding down the decimal point, and the cost of goods (or services) is calculated by subtracting the calculated consumption tax from the transaction amount.

[0097] The organization's account information 1302 includes the organization's account balance 1321, the organization's transaction history 1322, the total transaction amount (income) 1323 for transactions where the payee is the organization, and the total transaction amount (expenses) 1324 for transactions where the payer is the organization. The organization's transaction history 1322 includes the transaction amount and the expense items associated with the transaction. For expense items subject to consumption tax, the expense item is divided into the cost of goods (or services) and the consumption tax. In this embodiment, the consumption tax is calculated by dividing the transaction amount by 11 and rounding down the decimal point, and the cost of goods (or services) is calculated by subtracting the calculated consumption tax from the transaction amount.

[0098] The public institution's account information 1303 includes the public institution's account balance 1331, the total transaction amount (income) 1332 for transactions where the payee is the public institution, and the total transaction amount (expenses) 1333 for transactions where the payer is the public institution. If the public institution is a city hall, the public institution's account information 1303 further includes information on the breakdown of users and organizations in total tax revenue 1334, taxes paid by users 1335, taxes paid by organizations 1336, and total tax payments 1337. In this embodiment, "total tax revenue" in the information on the breakdown of users and organizations in total tax revenue 1334 means "total amount by tax category (total amount for each tax)" (total amount of income tax, total amount of local tax, etc.). Additionally or alternatively, the public institution's account information 1303 may also include information on the breakdown of users and organizations in the total for each tax category (each tax) (total sum of income tax, local tax, etc.). Furthermore, in this embodiment, the user or organization pays taxes to a single public institution in a lump sum, but as in reality, taxes may be paid to multiple payees. Also, although not shown, the public institution's account information 1303 may further include the public institution's transaction history, similar to that of the user and organization. The public institution's transaction history includes the transaction amount and the expense items associated with the transaction, and for expense items subject to consumption tax, the expense item is divided into the cost of goods (or services) and the consumption tax. In this embodiment, the consumption tax is calculated by dividing the transaction amount by 11 and rounding down the decimal point, and the cost of goods (or services) is calculated by subtracting the calculated consumption tax from the transaction amount.

[0099] For example, a transaction may include the payment of salaries from an organization to a user and other users (belonging to the organization). In response to an operation indicating a salary payment, the modification unit 403 changes the user's account balance, included in the user's account information 1301, to an amount equal to the user's salary plus at least the amount obtained by subtracting a first tax; changes the organization's account balance, included in the organization's account information 1302, to an amount obtained by subtracting the salaries of the user and other users; and changes the public institution's (city hall) account balance, included in the public institution's account information 1303, to an amount equal to the first tax plus a second tax obtained by subtracting the salaries of other users. The modification unit 403 then outputs the modified account balances to the output control unit 402. In response to an operation indicating the payment of salary, the output control unit 402 updates and displays the modified account balances output by the modification unit 403, namely, the user's account balance 1311 included in the user's account information 1301 to an amount obtained by adding at least the amount obtained by subtracting the first tax from the user's salary, the organization's account balance 1321 included in the organization's account information 1302 to an amount obtained by subtracting the salaries of the user and other users, and the public institution's account balance 1331 included in the public institution's account information 1303 to an amount obtained by adding the first tax and the second tax that has been subtracted from the salaries of other users. Furthermore, in response to an operation indicating salary payment, the output control unit 402 displays in the user's account information 1301, as the user's transaction history 1312, that an amount equal to the user's salary minus at least the first tax has been deposited into the account; in the organization's account information 1302, as the organization's transaction history 1322, that an amount equal to the user's and other users' salaries minus has been withdrawn from the account; and in the public institution's account information 1303, as the public institution's transaction history, that an amount equal to the first tax plus the second tax minus the other users' salaries has been deposited into the account.

[0100] As another, more specific example, a transaction includes a transaction between the user and another organization (referred to as the first transaction with another organization). The modification unit 403 modifies the user's account balance, which is included in the user's account information 1301, in accordance with the first transaction with another organization, and outputs the modified user's account balance to the output control unit 402. The output control unit 402 updates and displays the modified user's account balance 1311 output by the modification unit 403 in response to an operation indicating the first transaction with another organization. The output control unit 402 also displays, in response to an operation indicating the first transaction with another organization, that the amount corresponding to the transaction has been withdrawn from the account as part of the user's transaction history 1312 included in the user's account information 1301.

[0101] As yet another, more specific example, a transaction includes a transaction between an organization and another organization (referred to as a second transaction with another organization). The modification unit 403 modifies the organization's account balance, which is included in the organization's account information 1302, in accordance with the second transaction with another organization, and outputs the modified organization's account balance to the output control unit 402. The output control unit 402 updates and displays the modified organization's account balance 1321 output by the modification unit 403 in response to an operation indicating a second transaction with another organization. The output control unit 402 also displays, as transaction history 1322 included in the organization's account information 1302, that the amount corresponding to the transaction has been withdrawn from the account.

[0102] Furthermore, tax payments may be made all at once at the end of the learning process (for example, after the completion of the final task) or in multiple installments (for example, in the case of consumption tax). The timing of such tax payments may vary depending on the type of tax. In this case, learners can learn about the realities of society, such as the fact that income tax is generally paid on a monthly basis, while consumption tax is sometimes paid in lump sums every few months.

[0103] The modification unit 403 modifies the public institution's account balance included in the public institution's account information 1303 to an amount including the consumption tax incurred in the first transaction with another organization, outputs the modified public institution's account balance to the output control unit 402, modifies it to an amount including the consumption tax incurred in the second transaction with another organization, and outputs the modified public institution's account balance to the output control unit 402. The output control unit 402 updates and displays the modified public institution's account balance output by the modification unit 403, i.e., the public institution's account balance 1331 included in the public institution's account information 1303, to an amount including the consumption tax incurred in the first transaction with another organization, and updates and displays the modified public institution's account balance output by the modification unit 403, i.e., the public institution's account balance 1331 included in the public institution's account information 1303, to an amount including the consumption tax incurred in the second transaction with another organization, in accordance with the first transaction with another organization. Furthermore, in response to an operation indicating a first transaction with another organization, the output control unit 402 displays in the transaction history included in the public institution's account information 1303 that the consumption tax incurred in the first transaction with another organization has been deposited into the said account, and in response to an operation indicating a second transaction with another organization, the output control unit 402 displays in the transaction history included in the public institution's account information 1303 that the consumption tax incurred in the second transaction with another organization has been deposited into the said account.

[0104] Alternatively, the modification unit 403 may, in response to the first and second transactions with other organizations, change the public institution's account balance to an amount that includes the consumption tax incurred in the first and second transactions with other organizations (for example, after the completion of the final work process), and output the modified public institution's account balance to the output control unit 402. The output control unit 402 may update and display the modified public institution's account balance output by the modification unit 403, i.e., the public institution's account balance 1331 included in the public institution's account information 1303, to an amount that includes the consumption tax incurred in the first and second transactions with other organizations. The output control unit 402 may also display, in response to the first and second transactions with other organizations, that the consumption tax incurred in the first and second transactions with other organizations has been deposited into the account as part of the transaction history included in the public institution's account information.

[0105] The output control unit 402 may also output instruction information regarding operations that indicate transactions performed by the learner. In the example shown in Figure 16, the output control unit 402 controls the output of instruction information in the remarks column, instructing the learner (user) to transfer 24,000 yen for living expenses to the general service provider (another organization) (an operation that indicates a transaction). Similarly, the output control unit 402 can output instruction information as appropriate for other transactions such as salary payments.

[0106] Thus, with the money flow app according to this embodiment, learners can learn about the movement of money (such as salary payments and the payment of taxes) in experiential learning, enabling them to appropriately engage in experiential learning that connects them to society. In addition, various instruction information is output, which can encourage learners to complete the experiential learning without delay.

[0107] Figure 17 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the learning support device 100 according to this embodiment.

[0108] In step S1701, the learning support device 100 displays the flow of money between the user assigned to the operator of the learning support device 100, the organization to which the user belongs, and the public institution.

[0109] In step S1702, the learning support device 100 changes at least one of the following: account information corresponding to a user, account information corresponding to an organization, and account information corresponding to a public institution, in response to an operation by the operator indicating a transaction to the learning support device 100.

[0110] As explained above, the learning support device 100 displays the flow of money between the user, the organization to which the user belongs, and public institutions. This allows learners to engage in experiential learning through the flow of money between the user, the organization, and public institutions that constitute a virtual society, thereby enabling them to appropriately engage in experiential learning that connects them to society.

[0111] <Variation> The following describes some modified examples of the above embodiments.

[0112] • Variation 1 In the above embodiment, an example was described in which the learning support device 100 generates and outputs a work schedule. However, some or all of the generation unit 401, output control unit 402, modification unit 403, and evaluation reception unit 404 may reside in the management device 200. If all of the generation unit 401, output control unit 402, modification unit 403, and evaluation reception unit 404 reside in the management device 200, the learning support device 100 only needs to have the function of inputting various information and the function of outputting (for example, displaying) various information. In this case, the learning support device 100 may output the work schedule generated and output controlled by the management device 200 via a web browser or dedicated application installed on the learning support device 100.

[0113] • Variation 2 The configuration and operation of the money flow application in the second embodiment may be adopted in the first embodiment, either in place of or in addition to the configuration and operation of the money flow application in the first embodiment. Furthermore, the configuration and operation of the money flow application in the first embodiment and the configuration and operation of the money flow application in the second embodiment may be configured to be switchable depending on the settings (for example, settings by the administrator of the management device 200).

[0114] • Other variations The order of steps in the flowcharts illustrated above is merely illustrative and may be rearranged as appropriate. Some steps may be executed in parallel, some steps may be omitted, and additional steps may be included. For example, steps corresponding to the configuration of the functional parts of the learning support device 100 or the configuration and operation of the application may be added to the flowcharts shown in Figures 12 and 17.

[0115] According to one aspect of this disclosure, it is possible to provide technology that allows learners to appropriately engage in experiential learning that connects them with society.

[0116] While embodiments have been described above with reference to the drawings, this disclosure is not limited to such examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications or alterations can be conceived within the scope of the claims. Such modifications or alterations are understood to fall within the technical scope of this disclosure. Furthermore, the components or elements in the embodiments (including modifications or alterations) may be combined in any way without departing from the spirit of this disclosure.
