Display Control Apparatus for Privacy Management in Learning Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing learning support systems lack effective mechanisms to restrict and manage the display of information on terminals operated by multiple users, particularly in educational settings, which can lead to privacy issues and distractions, hindering the evaluation and sharing of assignments.
Innovation Solution
A display control apparatus and method that utilizes a processor to manage and restrict the display of information on terminals based on user-specific operations, allowing teachers to control the visibility of names and sticky note data, ensuring privacy and promoting focused interaction during lessons.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If display information of each member is shown on all terminals, then information sharing is improved, but privacy protection deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different display visibility rules to different information elements based on user roles and contexts. Specifically, when a teacher performs a specific operation (such as starting correction mode), the system locally restricts the display of student names and assignment details on student terminals while maintaining visibility on the teacher's terminal. This selective application of visibility control resolves the contradiction by allowing information sharing where appropriate while protecting privacy where needed.
2Measurement precision
If all information is visible to all users, then evaluation completeness is improved, but distraction increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts display visibility based on the current operational state and user role. When the teacher initiates a specific operation (such as assignment correction or evaluation), the system automatically changes the display state to show only relevant information to the teacher while hiding distracting information from students. This dynamic adaptation allows complete evaluation information to be available to the teacher without causing distraction to students.
3Manufacturing precision
If manual control of display settings is required for each terminal, then display precision is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages display settings based on detected user operations and roles without requiring manual configuration. When the teacher performs a specific operation (such as starting correction mode), the system automatically detects this operation and applies the appropriate display restrictions to student terminals. This self-service approach maintains precise display control while eliminating the need for teachers or students to manually configure settings, thus resolving the contradiction between precision and ease of operation.

AI summary
A display control apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to display on a display of a terminal operated by each member, display information of each of a plurality of members associated with information that specifies each member. The processor is also configured to, in a case where a specific operation by a specific member among the plurality of members is detected, based on the detected specific operation, restrict a display of the display information of the member operating the terminal or information other than the information that specifies the member on a display of the terminal operated by each member.
