[0047] Next, the functional configuration of the information processing device 10 will be described. Figure 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the information processing device 10 according to the first embodiment. The information processing device 10 has a data handling unit 101, a two-dimensional code data creation unit 102, an output data processing unit 103, a questionnaire data aggregation unit 104, and a report data processing unit 105 as its functional configuration. Each functional configuration is realized by the CPU 11 reading an information processing program stored in the ROM 12 or storage 14, expanding it into the RAM 13, and executing it.

[0048] The data handling unit 101 manages the information of the student, who is user U2.

[0049] The two-dimensional code data creation unit 102 creates two-dimensional code data, including a QR code (registered trademark). The two-dimensional code contains information for identifying a survey. This information for identifying a survey may include, for example, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) for answering the survey, the file path where the survey is stored, or an identification value assigned to each survey.

[0050] The output data processing unit 103 adds a two-dimensional code to the text. The position and size of the two-dimensional code do not matter as long as it is readable by the terminal device 3 used by user U2. A specific example of text with a two-dimensional code will be described later in Figure 8.

[0051] The survey data aggregation unit 104 aggregates the results of the completed surveys by student, by class, or by survey question, etc. Specific examples of the completed surveys will be described later in Figure 9.

[0052] The report data processing unit 105 creates a report that links the questionnaire responses with the selected teaching materials. A specific example of the report will be described later in Figure 10.

[0053] Next, the functional configuration of the image forming apparatus 20 will be described. Figure 5 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of an image forming apparatus 20 according to the first embodiment. The image forming apparatus 20 has a printing unit 201, an input processing unit 202, an OCR (Optical Character Reader) unit 203, and a data transfer unit 204 as its functional configuration. Each functional configuration is realized by the CPU 21 reading an information processing program stored in the ROM 22 or storage 24, expanding it into the RAM 23, and executing it.

[0054] The printing unit 201 uses the image forming unit 28 to print text with a two-dimensional code onto a recording medium, including paper.

[0055] The input processing unit 202 uses the input unit 25 to perform scanning of text and other data.

[0056] The OCR unit 203 recognizes text data from an image using optical character recognition (OCR). For example, the OCR unit 203 extracts headings from text.

[0057] The data transfer unit 204 uses the communication interface 27 to transfer the scanned data to the information processing device 10.

[0058] Next, the operation of information processing system 1 will be explained. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of the report creation process of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0059] In step S11, terminal device 2 receives input from user U1 and creates a questionnaire.

[0060] In step S12, terminal device 2 sends the created questionnaire to information processing device 10. Information processing device 10 creates a two-dimensional code to identify the questionnaire. The process in step S12 corresponds to the processes in steps S101 to S121 in Figure 7, which will be described later.

[0061] In step S13, terminal device 2 specifies the textbook and questionnaire to be used in the lesson to the information processing device 10. The process in step S13 corresponds to the process in step S122 in Figure 7, which will be described later.

[0062] In step S14, the information processing device 10 transmits text with a two-dimensional code to the image forming apparatus 20 and instructs it to print the text with the two-dimensional code. The process in step S14 corresponds to the processes in steps S123 and S124 in Figure 7, which will be described later.

[0063] In step S31, the image forming apparatus 20 prints a text with a two-dimensional code. Then, user U1 uses the printed text with the two-dimensional code 5 to teach user U2.

[0064] In step S32, terminal device 3 receives an operation from user U2 and reads the two-dimensional code attached to the printed text 5 with a two-dimensional code. Terminal device 3 displays the questionnaire identified by the read two-dimensional code and receives the user's response to the questionnaire.

[0065] In step S33, terminal device 3 transmits the user U2's survey response to information processing device 10. The process in step S33 corresponds to the process in step S125 in Figure 7, which will be described later.

[0066] In step S34, the information processing device 10 uses the words included in the questionnaire responses as search terms to select relevant teaching materials from the teaching materials stored in the teaching materials database 4.

[0067] In step S35, the teaching material database 4 transmits the selected teaching materials, which are the search results, to the information processing device 10. The processes in steps S34 and S35 correspond to the process in step S126 in Figure 7, which will be described later.

[0068] In step S36, the information processing device 10 creates a report that associates the questionnaire responses with the selected teaching materials. The process in step S36 corresponds to the process in step S127 in Figure 7, which will be described later.

[0069] Figure 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of the report creation process of the information processing device 10 according to the first embodiment. The CPU 11 reads the information processing program from the ROM 12 or storage 14, loads it into the RAM 13, and executes it to perform the report creation process.

[0070] In step S101, the CPU 11 receives text and questionnaires from terminal device 2. The CPU 11 then proceeds to step S102.

[0071] In step S102, CPU 11 stores the received questionnaire. CPU 11 then proceeds to step S121.

[0072] In step S121, CPU 11 creates a two-dimensional code. For example, CPU 11 creates a two-dimensional code for the file path where the questionnaire was stored in the process of step S102 described above. CPU 11 then proceeds to step S122.

[0073] In step S122, CPU 11 accepts the text and questionnaire specifications. CPU 11 then proceeds to step S123.

[0074] In step S123, CPU 11 assigns a two-dimensional code to the text. That is, CPU 11 assigns a two-dimensional code that identifies the specified questionnaire to the specified text. CPU 11 then proceeds to step S124. Here, Figure 8 shows an example of text with a QR code attached. CPU 11 adds the QR code to the upper right corner of the text.

[0075] In step S124, the CPU 11 instructs the printing of the text with the two-dimensional code. The CPU 11 sends the text with the two-dimensional code to the image forming apparatus 20. The CPU 11 then proceeds to step S125.

[0076] In step S125, the CPU 11 retrieves the survey responses. That is, the CPU 11 retrieves the survey responses from the terminal device 3 that read the two-dimensional code. In other words, the CPU 11 retrieves the survey responses from user U2 who took a class using a text with a two-dimensional code. The CPU 11 then proceeds to step S126. Here, Figure 9 shows an example of a questionnaire response. The questionnaire has three question items, a comment section for items of uncertainty, and a comprehension section for the degree of understanding. The comprehension section has three levels: "1. Understood," "2. There are some points of uncertainty," and "3. I don't understand at all." In the example questionnaire response, the first question item is "Popular culture of the tea ceremony," the level of understanding is "3. I don't understand at all," and no points of uncertainty are entered. Similarly, the second question item is "Showa Kitano Grand Tea Ceremony," the level of understanding is "2. There are some points of uncertainty," and the point of uncertainty is "I don't know who Toyotomi Hideyoshi is." The third question item is "350th anniversary of Rikyu's death," the level of understanding is "1. Understood," and no points of uncertainty are entered.

[0077] In step S126, CPU11 selects teaching materials. Specifically, CPU11 selects teaching materials related to the lesson from the responses to the lesson questionnaires that have been completed. More precisely, CPU11 searches the teaching material database 4 using words included in the responses as search terms, and selects teaching materials that have content information containing the search terms. For example, CPU11 searches the teaching material database 4 for teaching materials that contain words extracted from the question items or comments written in the comment section. CPU11 then proceeds to step S127. For example, CPU11 searches for educational materials that include the first question item, "Popular culture of the tea ceremony." If the comment section contains the statement, "I don't know who Toyotomi Hideyoshi is," CPU11 extracts the keyword "Toyotomi Hideyoshi" and searches for educational materials that include "Toyotomi Hideyoshi." Furthermore, CPU11 may select more teaching materials for questions with a low level of understanding, as indicated in the understanding column, than for questions with a high level of understanding. For example, if the level of understanding is "1. Understood," "2. Some points are unclear," and "3. Completely unsure," CPU11 will select 0, 1, and 2 teaching materials, respectively.

[0078] In step S127, CPU11 creates a report associating the teaching materials. Here, the report associating the teaching materials is, for example, a report that includes metadata about the teaching materials, such as the title of the teaching materials. CPU11 may also create a report associating teaching materials or comments for each question item. CPU11 may also create a report associating the questionnaire responses with the selected teaching materials. CPU11 creates a report for each lesson or for each student. CPU11 then terminates the report creation process. Here, Figure 10 is an example of a report created from the responses to the questionnaire in Figure 9 described above. For the first question item, CPU 11 enters "Material A," which is the material selected in the process of step S126 described above, in the material column. Similarly, for the second question item, CPU 11 enters "Page 5 of Material B" and "Material C."

[0079] As described above, through the processes from steps S125 to S127, teaching materials related to the class are selected from the responses to the class questionnaires, and a report is created that associates the selected teaching materials.

[0080] [Second Embodiment] Next, a second embodiment will be described. The method of the second embodiment adds a process for creating a questionnaire in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment. The hardware configuration of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment. Parts that have the same configuration and operation as in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and their description is omitted.

[0081] The functional configuration of the information processing device 10 will be described below. Figure 11 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the information processing device 10 according to the second embodiment. The information processing device 10 further includes a questionnaire creation unit 106 and a URL creation unit 107 as part of its functional configuration.

[0082] The questionnaire creation unit 106 creates the questionnaire. Specifically, the questionnaire creation unit 106 associates the headings extracted from the text used in the class with the corresponding questions. Then, the questionnaire creation unit 106 creates a questionnaire with questions for each heading, following a predetermined template.

[0083] The URL creation unit 107 creates the URL of the web page for answering the survey.

[0084] Next, the operation of information processing system 1 will be explained. Figure 12 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of the questionnaire creation process in the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment.

[0085] In step S21, the image forming apparatus 20 receives an operation from user U1, scans the text, and creates scan data.

[0086] In step S22, the image forming apparatus 20 transmits the scan data and the heading extracted from the scan data to the information processing apparatus 10. The processing in step S22 corresponds to the processing in step S111 in Figure 13, which will be described later.

[0087] In step S23, the information processing device 10 creates a questionnaire and a text file with a two-dimensional code. The information processing device 10 receives a transmission request from the image forming apparatus 20 and transmits the text file with the two-dimensional code to the image forming apparatus 20. The process in step S23 corresponds to the processes in step S112 and other steps shown in Figure 13, which will be described later.

[0088] In step S24, terminal device 2 instructs image forming apparatus 20 to print text with a two-dimensional code.

[0089] The processes from step S31 to step S36 are the same as the processes shown in Figure 6 above.

[0090] Figure 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of the questionnaire creation process in the information processing device 10 according to the second embodiment. The CPU 11 reads the information processing program from the ROM 12 or storage 14, loads it into the RAM 13, and executes it, thereby performing the questionnaire creation process.

[0091] In step S111, the CPU 11 receives the text and the heading. Specifically, the CPU 11 receives scanned text data and the heading extracted from the text using OCR from the image forming apparatus 20. The CPU 11 then proceeds to step S112.

[0092] In step S112, CPU 11 creates a questionnaire. For example, CPU 11 associates headings with questions and creates a questionnaire with questions for each heading, according to a predetermined template. CPU 11 then proceeds to step S121.

[0093] The processes from step S121 to step S127 are the same as the processes shown in Figure 7 above.

[0094] As described above, through the processes from steps S111 to S112, the headings extracted from the text used in the lesson are associated with the question items, and a questionnaire is created with a question item for each heading according to a predetermined template.

[0095] Figure 14 shows an example of a questionnaire created by the information processing device 10 according to the second embodiment, using the text headings from Figure 8 described above. The information processing device 10 receives "Popular Culture of Tea Ceremony," "Showa Kitano Grand Tea Ceremony," and "350th Anniversary of Rikyu's Death" as text headings from the image forming apparatus 20, and creates a questionnaire with the questions being "Popular Culture of Tea Ceremony," "Showa Kitano Grand Tea Ceremony," and "350th Anniversary of Rikyu's Death."

[0096] [Differentiation] The information processing device 10 of the first and second embodiments has been described above. However, this disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments. Various improvements or modifications are possible.

[0097] The information processing device 10 according to the first or second embodiment may create text from teaching materials stored in a database and create a report that associates different teaching materials from the source material from which the text was created. In step S101 of Figure 7, the CPU 11 may create text instead of receiving text. The CPU 11 then creates a report that associates different teaching materials from the source material from which the text was created. The CPU 11 may create text containing headings from a portion of the content of the teaching materials stored in the database, including the headings.

[0098] The information processing device 10 according to the first or second embodiment may be mounted on an image forming apparatus 20. For example, the image forming apparatus 20 creates a questionnaire from scanned text. The image forming apparatus 20 also generates a two-dimensional code for identifying the created questionnaire.
