The information processing system 100 is a system for, for example, a training designer of a company's employer or the like to design training according to the work content targeted at employees of the company, for the employees to take the training, and for the employees to check the degree of acquisition of the training. The training is also called a work curriculum. The work curriculum indicates a curriculum for acquiring work content designed based on the work content. The work curriculum is for managing work elements included in the curriculum in a tree structure. The work curriculum indicates, for example, a curriculum for work learning implemented for each department of a company. For example, the work curriculum includes an accounting curriculum implemented for employees belonging to the accounting department. The work elements include, for example, work skills classified for each work curriculum. The work skills indicate, for example, work skills required for members of each department. For example, the work skills of the accounting department include accounting skills, human skills, management PC (Personal Computer) skills, settlement work, financial work, etc. The work elements can be managed in at least one hierarchy for each work curriculum. The work curriculum can include questions associated with the work elements. The questions may be implemented as tests to check skills associated with the business elements. For example, an employee of an accounting department can use an accounting curriculum to learn the business content required in the accounting department. Learning the business content is also referred to as training. An employee of an accounting department can check the degree of learning of the business content required in the accounting department by solving questions in the accounting curriculum. Checking the degree of learning is also referred to as a skill check. Training may include solving questions in a training mode. In this case, after answering the questions, the user can view the correct answer and an explanation. Skill check may include solving questions in a test mode. In this case, after answering the questions, the user can proceed to the next question. In the following description, the business curriculum is also simply referred to as a curriculum.

The information processing system 100 includes a server 1 and an information processing terminal 2. The server 1 and the information processing terminal 2 are connected to each other via a network so as to be able to communicate freely with each other. For example, the network NW is the Internet. The network may include a wireless network or a wired network. The information processing terminal 2 is used by a designer who designs a business curriculum or an employee who uses the business curriculum.

The server 1 is an electronic device that collects data and processes the collected data. The electronic device includes a computer. The server 1 is connected to the information processing terminal 2 via a network so as to be able to communicate freely. The server 1 receives various data from the information processing terminal 2 and outputs various data to the information processing terminal 2. The server 1 is an example of an information processing device. An example of the configuration of the server 1 will be described later.

The information processing terminal 2 is an electronic device capable of communicating with other electronic devices. The information processing terminal 2 is a PC, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like. The information processing terminal 2 is an example of an information processing device. An example configuration of the information processing terminal 2 will be described later. The information processing terminal 2 is used, for example, by a designer who designs a business curriculum.

The employee may be interpreted as an employee, a member of the company, a person, a person, or a user.

An example of the configuration of the server 1 will be described.
The server 1 is an electronic device including a processor 11, a main memory 12, an auxiliary storage device 13, and a communication interface 14. The components constituting the server 1 are connected to each other so as to be able to input and output signals. In Fig. 1, the interface is indicated as "I/F".

The processor 11 corresponds to the central part of the server 1. For example, the processor 11 is a CPU (Central Processing Unit), but is not limited to this. The processor 11 may be composed of various circuits. The processor 11 deploys a program that is pre-stored in the main memory 12 or the auxiliary storage device 13 in the main memory 12. The program is a program that causes the processor 11 of the server 1 to realize or execute each part described below. The processor 11 executes the program deployed in the main memory 12 to perform various operations.

The main memory 12 corresponds to the main storage portion of the server 1. The main memory 12 includes a non-volatile memory area and a volatile memory area. The main memory 12 stores an operating system or programs in the non-volatile memory area. The main memory 12 uses the volatile memory area as a work area where data is appropriately rewritten by the processor 11. For example, the main memory 12 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) as a non-volatile memory area. For example, the main memory 12 includes a RAM (Random Access Memory) as a volatile memory area. The main memory 12 stores programs.

The auxiliary storage device 13 corresponds to the auxiliary storage portion of the server 1. The auxiliary storage device 13 is an EEPROM (registered trademark) (Electric Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), a HDD (Hard Disc Drive), or an SSD (Solid State Drive), etc. The auxiliary storage device 13 stores the above-mentioned programs, data used by the processor 11 in performing various processes, and data generated by the processes in the processor 11. The auxiliary storage device 13 stores the above-mentioned programs.

The auxiliary storage device 13 includes a business curriculum storage area 130. The business curriculum storage area 130 stores business curriculum information.
Here, the data structure of the business curriculum information will be described with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the main data structure of business elements according to the embodiment. The business curriculum information includes business elements and question elements assigned to at least one hierarchical level for each curriculum. In the example of FIG. 2, the business curriculum information includes business elements assigned to four hierarchical levels, but the number of hierarchical levels is not limited to this. The business curriculum information includes information associated with, for example, a company ID, a curriculum code, a first hierarchical level code, a second hierarchical level code, a third hierarchical level code, a fourth hierarchical level code, a question hierarchical level code, etc. The business curriculum information forms a tree structure for each curriculum.

For example, the business curriculum is classified into business-specific curricula such as "accounting curriculum", "general affairs curriculum", and "sales curriculum", and each curriculum has a company ID (e.g., "XXX") and a curriculum code (e.g., "A500"). The company ID indicates an identification number that uniquely identifies each company or company. The company ID is not limited to the above example, and may be any identification number used to identify a user of the business curriculum. The curriculum code indicates an identification number that uniquely identifies each business curriculum. The curriculum is further classified into a first hierarchical classification. For example, if the curriculum is an "accounting curriculum", it is classified into a first hierarchical classification such as "accounting skills" and "human skills". Each first hierarchical classification has a curriculum code (e.g., "A500") and a first hierarchical code (e.g., "A100"). The first hierarchical code indicates an identification number that uniquely identifies each first hierarchical classification. Each first hierarchical classification is associated with a corresponding curriculum by a curriculum code. Each curriculum is linked to a corresponding first hierarchical classification using a curriculum code as a key. Each hierarchical classification contains business elements. The classification name of each hierarchy corresponds to the name of the business element.

The first-level classification is further classified into a second-level classification. For example, if the first-level classification is "accounting skills," it is classified into second-level classifications such as "PC skills," "daily tasks," "closing tasks," and "financial tasks." Each second-level classification has a first-level code (e.g., "A100") and a second-level code (e.g., "A200"). The second-level code indicates an identification number that uniquely identifies each second-level classification. Each second-level classification is associated with a corresponding first-level classification by the first-level code. Each first-level classification is linked to a corresponding second-level classification using the first-level code as a key.

The second-level classification is further classified into a third-level classification. For example, if the second-level classification is "financial operations," it is classified into third-level classifications such as "budget/actual management" and "financial analysis." Each third-level classification has a second-level code (e.g., "A200") and a third-level code (e.g., "A300"). The third-level code indicates an identification number that uniquely identifies each third-level classification. Each third-level classification is associated with a corresponding second-level classification by the second-level code. Each second-level classification is linked to a corresponding third-level classification using the second-level code as a key.

The third-level classification is further classified into a fourth-level classification. For example, if the third-level classification is "financial analysis," it is classified into fourth-level classifications such as "profitability analysis" and "safety analysis." Each fourth-level classification has a third-level code (e.g., "A300") and a fourth-level code (e.g., "A400"). The fourth-level code indicates an identification number that uniquely identifies each fourth-level classification. Each fourth-level classification is associated with a corresponding third-level classification by the third-level code. Each third-level classification is linked to a corresponding fourth-level classification using the third-level code as a key.

The fourth-level classification is associated with the question level. For example, if the fourth-level classification is "profitability analysis," it is associated with question levels such as "profitability analysis method." The question level has a fourth-level code (e.g., "A400") and a question level code (e.g., "A401"). The question level code indicates an identification number that uniquely identifies each question. Each question level is associated with a corresponding fourth-level classification by the fourth-level code. Each fourth-level classification is linked to a corresponding question level using the fourth-level code as a key. Each fourth-level classification is linked to at least one question level. For example, the fourth-level classification "safety analysis" (e.g., "A410") may be linked to multiple question elements such as "safety analysis method" (e.g., "A411") and "type of safety analysis" (e.g., "A412").

Each hierarchical classification includes business elements. The classification name of each hierarchy corresponds to the name of the business element. The question hierarchy includes question elements. The question hierarchy name corresponds to the name of the question element.

The business curriculum information may be updated each time the tree structure of each curriculum is updated. The curriculum code, first hierarchical code, second hierarchical code, third hierarchical code, fourth hierarchical code, and question hierarchical code may be set in advance or may be set appropriately by a user, etc. Each curriculum includes at least one of the first hierarchical classification, the second hierarchical classification, the third hierarchical classification, and the fourth hierarchical classification. The first hierarchical classification associated with each curriculum includes at least one classification. The second hierarchical classification associated with the first hierarchical classification includes at least one classification. The third hierarchical classification associated with the second hierarchical classification includes at least one classification. The fourth hierarchical classification associated with the third hierarchical classification includes at least one classification.

The auxiliary storage device 13 includes a question element storage area 131. The question element storage area 131 stores question element information. The question element information is information related to a question element. The question element information includes at least information such as the question title, question text, answer options, correct answer, and explanation. The question element information indicates information that associates a question hierarchical code with information such as the question title, question text, answer options, correct answer, and explanation. The question element information may include at least one of text data, image data, and video data as information such as the question title, question text, answer options, correct answer, and explanation. The question element information may be updated each time information such as the question title, question text, answer options, correct answer, and explanation is updated. A question element is also simply called a question.

The auxiliary storage device 13 includes a user information storage area 132. The user information storage area 132 stores user information. The user information may include identification information (user identification information) of a user who uses the business curriculum, the user's business curriculum usage history, training history, skill check history, etc. The user identification information may be a user ID, a user name, an icon indicating the user, etc. The business curriculum usage history may be login information to a service that provides the business curriculum.

(Display example)
The master screen displayed on the information processing terminal 2 will now be described.
3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a master screen displayed on the information processing terminal 2 according to the embodiment. A business curriculum designer can manage the business curriculum, such as designing, editing, and analyzing the business curriculum, according to the master screen displayed on the display device 27 of the information processing terminal 2. A business curriculum user can perform training, skill checks, and the like, according to the master screen displayed on the display device 27 of the information processing terminal 2.

The master screen shown in FIG. 3 is displayed, for example, when a business curriculum designer or a business curriculum user logs in to a service that provides a business curriculum. The master screen may be displayed, for example, based on a search or selection of a curriculum to be used by the business curriculum designer or the business curriculum user.

Figure 3 shows a master screen that is displayed when the business curriculum designer or business curriculum user selects "accounting curriculum" as the target curriculum. The master screen includes the curriculum name, the first hierarchical classification name, the second hierarchical classification name, the third hierarchical classification name, the fourth hierarchical classification name, and the question name. The master screen displays the first hierarchical classification name, the second hierarchical classification name, the third hierarchical classification name, the fourth hierarchical classification name, and the questions associated with each curriculum in a tree structure. The classification name of each hierarchy indicates the business element. The question name indicates the question element. Note that the master screen may not include the question name, but may include a text display indicating the presence of a question element such as "question" or "problem". For example, the "accounting curriculum" includes "accounting skills" and "human skills" as business elements of the first hierarchical classification. The "accounting skills" includes "PC skills", "daily work", "closing work", "financial work", "laws and regulations", and "tax" as business elements of the second hierarchical classification. "Financial operations" includes "budget and actual management" and "financial analysis" as business elements of the third level classification. "Financial analysis" includes "profitability analysis" and "safety analysis" as business elements of the fourth level classification. "Profitability analysis" includes "profitability analysis method" as a question element. As shown in FIG. 3, the business curriculum includes business elements in which business contents are classified in order from major to minor classifications, and has a tree structure to which the business elements are linked. The business curriculum includes questions corresponding to the business elements of the fourth level classification, which are linked to the fourth level classification, which is the business element at the end of the tree structure. The master screen includes various operation buttons and the like operated by the designer or user of the business curriculum. The business element at the end of the tree structure may be a business element of the first level classification, the second level classification, or the third level classification. In this case, the business elements at the end of the tree structure may be empty elements.

The business curriculum designer operates the master screen to design, edit, or manage the business curriculum. For example, the business curriculum designer may design, edit, or manage the business curriculum by logging in as an administrator. The designer selects the business element that he or she wants to operate and designs, edits, or manages it.

A user of the business curriculum operates the master screen to conduct training or a skill check for the business curriculum. For example, a user of the business curriculum may conduct training or a skill check for the business curriculum by logging in as a user. The user selects a business element and conducts training or a skill check. For example, the user selects "financial operations" and learns about the business content of "financial operations". Based on the user's selection of "financial operations", the screen transitions from the master screen to a screen for learning about the business content of "financial operations". The user selects a question linked to "profitability analysis" and answers the question related to "profitability analysis" to conduct a skill check. Based on the user's selection of a question, the screen transitions from the master screen to a screen for answering the question.

(Example of operation)
The process performed by the information processing system 100 will be described.
In the following description mainly focusing on the server 1, the server 1 may be read as the processor 11. Similarly, in the following description mainly focusing on the information processing terminal 2, the information processing terminal 2 may be read as the processor 21.

Note that the process steps described below are merely examples, and each process may be modified as much as possible. In addition, steps may be omitted, replaced, or added to the process steps described below as appropriate depending on the embodiment.

In the following process, it is assumed that a business curriculum is designed or edited by a business curriculum designer. The designer designs or edits the business curriculum using an information processing terminal 2. The server 1 designs or edits the business curriculum based on the operations of the designer. The designer is assumed to be a user of the information processing terminal 2.

4A and 4B are flowcharts illustrating a procedure of a master screen management process by the server 1 according to the embodiment.
In the following explanation, it is assumed that an "accounting curriculum" is created by a business curriculum designer.

The master screen management unit 111 creates a new business curriculum in accordance with a user operation (step S1). In step S1, for example, the master screen management unit 111 creates a new business curriculum in accordance with an instruction based on a user operation acquired by the communication processing unit 110. The communication processing unit 110 acquires an instruction to create a new business curriculum based on a user operation by a user of the information processing terminal 2. The user operation includes, for example, a click operation or a touch operation of an "Add Curriculum" button included in the master screen. The communication processing unit 110 acquires information such as a curriculum name and a curriculum description from the information processing terminal 2. The curriculum name is, for example, "Accounting Curriculum". The curriculum description is, for example, "This is a curriculum for learning accounting work that is mandatory for employees belonging to the accounting department." The master screen management unit 111 saves information such as the curriculum name and curriculum description of the business curriculum in the business curriculum storage area 130. The master screen management unit 111 generates a hierarchy linked to the created curriculum. The master screen management unit 111 may generate hierarchical levels from the first to fourth hierarchical levels in which the name or content is not set. Note that the master screen does not have to include an explanation of the curriculum.

The master screen management unit 111 sets business elements from the first to fourth hierarchical levels based on user operations. For example, the master screen management unit 111 sets business elements for each hierarchical level based on business curriculum information acquired by the communication processing unit 110.

The following is an example of a case where a user sets and edits the business elements included in the first to fourth hierarchical levels for the "Accounting Curriculum."

The master screen management unit 111 determines whether or not a question has been added by the user of the information processing terminal 2 (step S2). In step S2, for example, the master screen management unit 111 determines whether or not a question has been added according to an instruction based on a user operation acquired by the communication processing unit 110. The user operation is, for example, a click operation, a touch operation, or the like, which selects a business element of the fourth level classification from the tree structure displayed on the master screen. The master screen management unit 111 determines that an instruction has been given to add a question linked to the business element of the fourth level classification selected by the user based on the user operation. The user operation may be, for example, a click operation, a touch operation, or the like, of an "add question" button included in the master screen. The user operation may be, for example, a click operation, a touch operation, or the like, of a "set" button displayed on the business element to which the question is added. An example will be described in which a question linked to "profitability analysis" is added by the user. For example, when a business element indicating "profitability analysis" is selected by the user, the master screen management unit 111 determines that an instruction to add a question to "profitability analysis" has been given. The communication processing unit 110 may output data for displaying the business element of the fourth hierarchical classification selected by the user in an identifiable display mode to the information processing terminal 2. The information processing terminal 2 may display the business element of the fourth hierarchical classification selected by the user in an identifiable display mode. The display mode includes character color, size, font, background color, brightness or luminance, background pattern, frame color, blinking display, etc. For example, the information processing terminal 2 may highlight the business element of the fourth hierarchical classification selected by the user in red. For example, the communication processing unit 110 may output data for highlighting the business element indicating "profitability analysis" in red to the information processing terminal 2. The information processing terminal 2 may highlight the business element indicating "profitability analysis" in red on the master screen.

If the master screen management unit 111 determines that an instruction to add a question has been given (step S2: YES), the process transitions from step S2 to step S3. If the master screen management unit 111 determines that an instruction to add a question has not been given (step S2: NO), the process transitions from step S2 to step S21.

The master screen management unit 111 selects question elements based on the user's operation (step S3). In step S3, for example, the master screen management unit 111 extracts question elements to be output to the information processing terminal 2 as a question list. The question list is a list including question elements that are candidates for questions to be linked to the selected business element of the fourth hierarchical classification. The question candidates include question elements stored in the question element storage area 131. The question candidates may be set for each business curriculum. The question element storage area 131 stores the business curriculum and the question candidates in association with each other. Note that, if no question candidates are set in the business curriculum, the question list may include questions that are not set in the business curriculum as question candidates. The question list may include questions that are set in the business curriculum and questions that are not set in the business curriculum as question candidates. The process of extracting question candidates included in the question list is described below.

The master screen management unit 111 extracts candidate questions based on a user's instruction to search for question candidates. The user inputs a search instruction to search for candidate questions in the information processing terminal 2. In one example, the user searches for questions already set in the business curriculum. In this example, it is assumed that questions have been set in advance in the "accounting curriculum" by the user. The user searches for questions in the master screen by curriculum, hierarchical classification name, curriculum creator, or free word. The communication processing unit 110 acquires a search instruction from the information processing terminal 2. The master screen management unit 111 searches for questions from the question elements stored in the question element storage area 131 based on the search instruction. The master screen management unit 111 searches for questions already set in the business curriculum based on the user's search instruction. For example, the master screen management unit 111 extracts question elements that match the search conditions from question elements linked to the "accounting curriculum".

In another example, the user searches for questions before they were set in the business curriculum. In this example, it is assumed that no questions have been set in the "accounting curriculum" by the user. The user searches for questions on the master screen by curriculum creator or by free word. Based on a search instruction from the user, the master screen management unit 111 searches for questions that are not set in the business curriculum from the question elements stored in the question element storage area 131. For example, the master screen management unit 111 extracts question elements that match the search criteria from question elements that are not linked to the "accounting curriculum".

The communication processing unit 110 outputs data for displaying the question list to the information processing terminal 2 based on the search results. The information processing terminal 2 acquires data for displaying the questions. The information processing terminal 2 displays the questions on the display device 27 by pop-up display or the like. The user selects a question to be added to the business element of the fourth hierarchical classification from the displayed question list. For example, the user selects "Method of profitability analysis" from the question list as a question to be added to "Profitability analysis". The information processing terminal 2 outputs a question selection instruction by the user to the server 1. The selection instruction includes a click operation, a touch operation, or the like on a question included in the question list. The selection instruction may include an operation of selecting a question to be added and clicking, touching, or dragging the "Add" button. Note that when selecting all questions included in the question list, the selection instruction may be an operation of clicking, touching, or dragging the "Add" button. Note that the communication processing unit 110 may output data for displaying the question list to the information processing terminal 2 based on a question addition instruction by the user. For example, the communication processing unit 110 may output data to the information processing terminal 2 for displaying a question list including question elements set in the "accounting curriculum" based on a user instruction to add a question linked to the "profitability analysis."

The master screen management unit 111 adds a question element based on the user's operation (step S4). In step S4, for example, the master screen management unit 111 sets the question selected by the user as a question linked to a business element of the fourth-hierarchical classification. The master screen management unit 111 assigns a question hierarchy code and the fourth-hierarchical code of the associated fourth-hierarchical classification to the question element. For example, the master screen management unit 111 adds "Method of profitability analysis" as a question linked to "profitability analysis".

The master screen management unit 111 updates the tree structure of the business curriculum (step S5). In step S5, for example, the master screen management unit 111 saves the tree structure of the business curriculum to which the question element has been added in the business curriculum storage area 130. The master screen management unit 111 may update the business curriculum.

The communication processing unit 110 outputs data for displaying the updated business curriculum to the information processing terminal 2. The information processing terminal 2 displays the updated business curriculum on the display device 27.

The master screen management unit 111 determines whether or not a hierarchy addition instruction has been given by the user of the information processing terminal 2 (step S21). In step S21, for example, the master screen management unit 111 determines whether or not a hierarchy addition instruction has been given according to an instruction based on a user operation acquired by the communication processing unit 110. The user operation is, for example, a click operation, a touch operation, or the like, which selects any business element from the first to fourth hierarchy classifications of the tree structure displayed on the master screen. The master screen management unit 111 determines that an instruction to add a lower hierarchy linked to the business element selected by the user has been given based on the user operation. Note that the user operation may be, for example, a click operation, a touch operation, or the like, of an "add hierarchy" button included in the master screen. An example will be described in which a fourth hierarchy classification linked to the third hierarchy classification "financial analysis" is added by the user. For example, when a business element indicating "financial analysis" is selected by the user, the master screen management unit 111 determines that an instruction to add a fourth hierarchy classification linked to "financial analysis" has been given. The communication processing unit 110 may output data to the information processing terminal 2 for displaying the business elements of the fourth hierarchical classification selected by the user in an identifiable display mode. The user may input the name of the lower hierarchy to be added.

If the master screen management unit 111 determines that an instruction to add a hierarchical level has been issued (step S21: YES), the process transitions from step S21 to step S22. If the master screen management unit 111 determines that an instruction to add a hierarchical level has not been issued (step S21: NO), the process transitions from step S21 to step S31.

The master screen management unit 111 generates a lower hierarchy associated with the selected business element based on the user's operation (step S22). In step S22, for example, the master screen management unit 111 generates a lower hierarchy and assigns to the generated lower hierarchy a hierarchy code of the lower hierarchy and a hierarchy code of the associated upper hierarchy. The master screen management unit 111 may set a hierarchy name to the generated lower hierarchy. For example, the master screen management unit 111 generates a fourth hierarchical classification associated with "financial analysis". The master screen management unit 111 generates "safety analysis" as the fourth hierarchical classification associated with "financial analysis".

The master screen management unit 111 updates the tree structure of the business curriculum (step S23). In step S23, for example, the master screen management unit 111 stores the tree structure of the business curriculum with the lower hierarchy added in the business curriculum storage area 130. The master screen management unit 111 may update the business curriculum.

The communication processing unit 110 outputs data for displaying the updated business curriculum to the information processing terminal 2. The information processing terminal 2 displays the updated business curriculum on the display device 27.

The master screen management unit 111 determines whether or not a hierarchical editing instruction has been given by the user of the information processing terminal 2 (step S31). In step S31, for example, the master screen management unit 111 determines whether or not a hierarchical editing instruction has been given according to an instruction based on a user operation acquired by the communication processing unit 110. The user operation is, for example, a click operation, a touch operation, or the like, which selects any business element from the first to fourth hierarchical classifications of the tree structure displayed on the master screen. The master screen management unit 111 determines that an instruction to edit the business element selected by the user has been given based on the user operation. Note that the user operation may be, for example, a click operation, a touch operation, or the like, of an "Edit" button included in the master screen. An example will be described in which the third hierarchical classification "Financial Analysis" is edited by the user. For example, when a business element indicating "Financial Analysis" is selected by the user, the master screen management unit 111 determines that an instruction to edit "Financial Analysis" has been given. The communication processing unit 110 may output data for displaying the business element selected by the user in an identifiable display form to the information processing terminal 2. The user edits the hierarchical name of the selected business element.

If the master screen management unit 111 determines that a hierarchical editing instruction has been issued (step S31: YES), the process transitions from step S31 to step S32. If the master screen management unit 111 determines that a hierarchical editing instruction has not been issued (step S31: NO), the process transitions from step S31 to step S41.

The master screen management unit 111 edits the hierarchical name of the selected business element based on the user's operation (step S32). In step S32, for example, the master screen management unit 111 sets the hierarchical name entered by the user.

The master screen management unit 111 updates the tree structure of the business curriculum (step S33). In step S33, for example, the master screen management unit 111 saves the tree structure of the business curriculum with the edited hierarchical names in the business curriculum storage area 130. The master screen management unit 111 may update the business curriculum.

The communication processing unit 110 outputs data for displaying the updated business curriculum to the information processing terminal 2. The information processing terminal 2 displays the updated business curriculum on the display device 27.

The master screen management unit 111 determines whether or not a hierarchy deletion instruction has been issued by the user of the information processing terminal 2 (step S41). In step S41, for example, the master screen management unit 111 determines whether or not a hierarchy deletion instruction has been issued according to an instruction based on a user operation acquired by the communication processing unit 110. The user operation is, for example, an operation such as a click operation or a touch operation to select any business element from the first to fourth hierarchy classifications of the tree structure displayed on the master screen. The master screen management unit 111 determines that an instruction has been issued to delete the business element selected by the user and the lower hierarchy linked to the selected business element based on the user operation. Note that the user operation may be, for example, a click operation or a touch operation of a "Hierarchy deletion" button included in the master screen. An example will be described in which the third hierarchy classification "financial analysis" is selected by the user. For example, when a business element indicating "financial analysis" is selected by the user, the master screen management unit 111 determines that an instruction has been issued to delete the fourth hierarchy classification linked to "financial analysis" and the question element. The communication processing unit 110 may output data for displaying a confirmation screen before the deletion is executed to the information processing terminal 2. The information processing terminal 2 may display the confirmation screen on the display device 27 by modal display or the like.

If the master screen management unit 111 determines that a hierarchy deletion instruction has been issued (step S41: YES), the process transitions from step S41 to step S42. If the master screen management unit 111 determines that a hierarchy deletion instruction has not been issued (step S41: NO), the process transitions from step S41 to step S51.

The master screen management unit 111 deletes the selected business element and the lower hierarchies associated with the selected business element based on the user's operation (step S42). The master screen management unit 111 updates the business elements placed in the lower hierarchies associated with the higher hierarchies based on updates to the business elements placed in the higher hierarchies. For example, the master screen management unit 111 deletes "Financial analysis", all fourth-level classifications linked to "Financial analysis", and all question elements.

The master screen management unit 111 updates the tree structure of the business curriculum (step S43). In step S43, for example, the master screen management unit 111 stores the tree structure of the business curriculum with the hierarchy removed in the business curriculum storage area 130. The master screen management unit 111 may update the business curriculum.

The communication processing unit 110 outputs data for displaying the updated business curriculum to the information processing terminal 2. The information processing terminal 2 displays the updated business curriculum on the display device 27.

The master screen management unit 111 determines whether a hierarchical movement or duplication instruction has been issued by the user of the information processing terminal 2 (step S51). In step S51, for example, the master screen management unit 111 determines whether a hierarchical movement or duplication instruction has been issued in accordance with an instruction based on a user operation acquired by the communication processing unit 110. The user operation is, for example, an operation such as a click operation or a touch operation that selects an arbitrary business element from the first to fourth hierarchical classifications of the tree structure displayed on the master screen. For example, when a business element indicating "financial analysis" is selected by the user, the master screen management unit 111 determines that an instruction to move or duplicate "financial analysis" has been issued. The communication processing unit 110 may output data to the information processing terminal 2 for displaying the business element selected by the user in an identifiable display mode.

If the master screen management unit 111 determines that a hierarchical move or copy instruction has been issued (step S51: YES), the process transitions from step S51 to step S52. If the master screen management unit 111 determines that a hierarchical move or copy instruction has not been issued (step S51: NO), the process transitions from step S51 to step S61.

The communication processing unit 110 outputs data for displaying a move or copy selection button to the information processing terminal 2 (step S52). The information processing terminal 2 displays the move or copy selection button on the display device 27. The user selects either a hierarchical move instruction or a hierarchical copy instruction.

The master screen management unit 111 determines whether or not a hierarchical movement instruction has been issued by the user of the information processing terminal 2 (step S53). In step S53, for example, the master screen management unit 111 determines whether or not a hierarchical movement instruction has been issued by the user pressing a selection button. If the master screen management unit 111 determines that a hierarchical movement instruction has been issued (step S53: YES), the process transitions from step S53 to step S54. If the master screen management unit 111 determines that a hierarchical movement instruction has not been issued (step S53: NO), the process transitions from step S53 to step S533.

The master screen management unit 111 selects a destination hierarchy based on a user operation of the information processing terminal 2 (step S54). The user operation includes an operation of selecting a higher hierarchy to which the selected business element is to be associated as the destination hierarchy. The selection operation includes an operation of clicking or touching the business element in the destination hierarchy. The business element selected by the user is also called a selected business element.

The master screen management unit 111 generates a destination hierarchy (step S55). In step S55, for example, the master screen management unit 111 assigns the hierarchy code of the destination hierarchy and the hierarchy code of the selected business element to the selected business element. The master screen management unit 111 may update the hierarchy code of the selected business element, or may maintain the hierarchy code of the original selected business element. For example, a case will be described in which the user performs an operation to move the fourth hierarchy classification "safety analysis" from the third hierarchy classification "financial analysis" to a lower hierarchy of the third hierarchy classification "budget and actual management". The master screen management unit 111 generates a lower hierarchy of the third hierarchy classification "budget and actual management" and assigns the third hierarchy code of "budget and actual management" to the fourth hierarchy classification "safety analysis". When a lower hierarchy and a question hierarchy are associated with the selected business element, the master screen management unit 111 may associate the selected business element, the lower hierarchy of the selected business element, and the question hierarchy with the destination hierarchy. The master screen management unit 111 updates the business elements placed in the lower hierarchies associated with the higher hierarchies based on updates to the business elements placed in the higher hierarchies. In this example, the destination hierarchies are described as the higher hierarchies of the selected business elements, but this is not limited to this. For example, the master screen management unit 111 may move business elements between different hierarchies. For example, the master screen management unit 111 may move a business element classified in the third hierarchical level as a business element in the second hierarchical level.

The master screen management unit 111 updates the tree structure of the business curriculum (step S56). In step S56, for example, the master screen management unit 111 stores the tree structure of the business curriculum that has been moved up a hierarchy in the business curriculum storage area 130. The master screen management unit 111 may update the business curriculum.

The communication processing unit 110 outputs data for displaying the updated business curriculum to the information processing terminal 2. The information processing terminal 2 displays the updated business curriculum on the display device 27.

The master screen management unit 111 determines whether a hierarchy copy instruction has been issued by the user of the information processing terminal 2 (step S533). In step S53, for example, the master screen management unit 111 determines whether a hierarchy copy instruction has been issued by the user pressing a selection button. If the master screen management unit 111 determines that a hierarchy copy instruction has been issued (step S533: YES), the process transitions from step S533 to step S534. If the master screen management unit 111 determines that a hierarchy move instruction has not been issued (step S533: NO), the process ends.

The master screen management unit 111 selects a destination hierarchy to which the copied business element is to be associated based on a user operation of the information processing terminal 2 (step S534). The user operation includes an operation of selecting a higher hierarchy to which the copied business element is to be associated as the destination hierarchy. The selection operation includes an operation of clicking or touching the business element in the destination hierarchy. A business element that is a copy of the selected business element selected by the user is also called a copied business element.

The master screen management unit 111 generates a destination hierarchy (step S535). In step S535, for example, the master screen management unit 111 duplicates the selected business element. The master screen management unit 111 assigns the hierarchy code of the destination hierarchy and the hierarchy code of the duplicated business element to the duplicated business element. For example, a case will be described in which a user duplicates the fourth hierarchy classification "Safety Analysis" associated with the third hierarchy classification "Financial Analysis" and pastes it into a lower hierarchy of the third hierarchy classification "Budget and Actual Management". The master screen management unit 111 generates a lower hierarchy of the third hierarchy classification "Budget and Actual Management" and assigns the third hierarchy code of "Budget and Actual Management" to the duplicated fourth hierarchy classification "Safety Analysis". The master screen management unit 111 assigns a new fourth hierarchy code to the duplicated fourth hierarchy classification "Safety Analysis". If a lower hierarchy and a question hierarchy are associated with the selected business element, the master screen management unit 111 may duplicate the selected business element, the lower hierarchy of the selected business element, and the question hierarchy, and associate them with the destination hierarchy. The master screen management unit 111 updates the business elements placed in the lower hierarchy associated with the higher hierarchy based on updates to the business elements placed in the higher hierarchy. In this example, the destination hierarchy is described as the higher hierarchy of the selected business element, but is not limited to this. For example, the master screen management unit 111 may duplicate and paste business elements between different hierarchies. For example, the master screen management unit 111 may duplicate a business element classified in the third hierarchy and paste it as a business element in the second hierarchy.

The master screen management unit 111 updates the tree structure of the business curriculum (step S536). In step S536, for example, the master screen management unit 111 copies the hierarchy and saves the tree structure of the business curriculum with the pasted hierarchy in the business curriculum storage area 130. The master screen management unit 111 may update the business curriculum.

The communication processing unit 110 outputs data for displaying the updated business curriculum to the information processing terminal 2. The information processing terminal 2 displays the updated business curriculum on the display device 27.

The master screen management unit 111 performs other processes based on the user's operation (step S61).
For the sake of convenience, the above-mentioned procedure for the master screen management process has been described as a stepwise process of step S1, followed by steps S2, S21, S31, S41, S51, and S61, but is not limited to this. The order of each step can be changed, and some of the steps may be omitted. After creating a new business curriculum, the master screen management unit 111 determines whether the instruction based on the user's operation is an instruction to add a business element, an instruction to add a question, an instruction to add a hierarchical level, an instruction to edit a hierarchical level, an instruction to delete a hierarchical level, an instruction to move a hierarchical level, or an instruction to copy a hierarchical level, etc.

According to this example, the user can edit the tree structure of the business curriculum with simple operations. Therefore, the user can easily design, change, or update the business curriculum, and can design an appropriate business curriculum according to the business content. The user can visually check the editing work on the master screen, so the business curriculum can be designed efficiently. The information processing system 100 can provide a program that can easily update the business element array through user operations.

Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a progress display image displayed on the information processing terminal according to the embodiment. A designer of a business curriculum or a user of the business curriculum can check the progress of questions set in the business curriculum based on the progress display image displayed on the display device 27 of the information processing terminal 2. Fig. 5 shows a progress display image displayed on a master screen. The progress display image shows an image for displaying the progress of answers related to question elements.

The progress display image is an image that displays the progress of questions associated with a business element selected by a user. The business element selected by a user is also referred to as a target business element. The progress display image includes the hierarchical name of the target business element, the number of correct answers relative to the total number of questions associated with the target business element, the correct answer progress rate, the progress rate, and the like. The number of correct answers relative to the total number of questions includes text data such as "72 correct answers out of 120 questions". The correct answer progress rate includes information indicating a numerical value such as "60%". The progress rate includes information indicating a numerical value such as "80%". The correct answer progress rate and the progress rate may include a graph display, and the like. The progress display image may include a "Start training" button for solving questions associated with the selected business element. The progress display image may be displayed for any business element. For example, if the business element selected by the user is the first hierarchical classification "accounting skills", the progress display image includes a display of the progress for all questions associated with "accounting skills". If the business element selected by the user is the third-level classification "financial analysis," the progress display image includes a display of the progress status for all questions associated with "financial analysis." According to this example, the server 1 can cause the information processing terminal 2 to display the implementation status of questions for any business element selected by the user. The user can grasp the implementation status of questions for the desired business element.

Users of the business curriculum can check their own progress based on the progress display image. Designers or managers of the business curriculum can check the progress of each organization based on the progress display image.

When the progress display image is displayed on the information processing terminal 2, when the "Start training" button is selected by the user of the business curriculum, the master screen transitions to a screen for answering questions.

The progress display image may include a check mark indicating that all questions at a lower level for a business element have been answered correctly. According to this example, the server 1 can display the implementation status of questions for each business element in a tree structure. The user can select a business element and understand the implementation status of the questions without having to display the progress display image. The user can easily understand the overall picture of the curriculum and the implementation status.

The progress display image may include marks indicating the implementation status for question elements. The marks include "O" indicating a correct answer, "X" indicating an incorrect answer, and a blank space indicating an unanswered answer. According to this example, the server 1 can display the implementation status for each question in a tree structure. The user can grasp the answer results for the questions without displaying the progress display image. The user can easily grasp the overall picture of the curriculum and the answer results for the questions.

(Example of operation)
The process performed by the information processing system 100 will be described.
In the following process, it is assumed that a business curriculum is designed or edited by a business curriculum designer. The designer designs or edits the business curriculum using an information processing terminal 2. The server 1 designs or edits the business curriculum based on the operation of the designer. The designer is assumed to be a user of the information processing terminal 2.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of progress status processing by the server 1 according to the embodiment.
In the following description, an example will be given in which the user checks the progress of questions associated with the business curriculum "accounting curriculum."

The progress status processing unit 112 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage area 132 to obtain aggregated data for each question (step S101). The aggregated data includes information indicating the user's progress for each question. The aggregated data may include, for example, user identification information, curriculum code, each hierarchical code, question hierarchical code, question number, answer result, etc. The aggregated data may include, for example, skill check history.

The progress processing unit 112 selects the hierarchical level for calculating the progress status based on the user operation of the information processing terminal 2 (step S102). The user operation includes, for example, a click operation or a touch operation to select a business element. In step S102, for example, the progress processing unit 112 identifies the aggregation target range based on the hierarchical code of the hierarchical level indicating the business element selected by the user. The progress processing unit 112 identifies data including the answer results for the question element associated with the hierarchical code as the aggregation target range. The progress processing unit 112 extracts aggregation data for the question element associated with the target business element.

For example, a case where the second hierarchical classification "financial operations" is selected by the user will be described. The progress status processing unit 112 specifies the aggregation target range based on the second hierarchical code assigned to the second hierarchical classification "financial operations". The progress status processing unit 112 specifies the data including the answer results for the question element associated with the second hierarchical code assigned to "financial operations" as the aggregation target range. In this example, data including the answer results for the question set in the fourth hierarchical classification of the tree structure including the second hierarchical code assigned to "financial operations" is specified as the aggregation target range. For example, the tree structure including "financial operations" includes "budget performance variance analysis", "profitability analysis", and "safety analysis" as the fourth hierarchical classification. The progress status processing unit 112 specifies the answer results for the question elements "procedure for budget performance variance analysis", "method of profitability analysis", and "method of safety analysis" associated with "budget performance variance analysis", "profitability analysis", and "safety analysis" as the aggregation target range.

For example, a case where the third hierarchical classification "financial analysis" is selected by the user will be described. The progress status processing unit 112 identifies the aggregation range based on the third hierarchical code assigned to the third hierarchical classification "financial analysis". The progress status processing unit 112 identifies data including answer results for question elements associated with the third hierarchical code assigned to "financial analysis" as the aggregation range. In this example, data including answer results for questions set in the fourth hierarchical classification of the tree structure including the third hierarchical code assigned to "financial analysis" is identified as the aggregation range. For example, a tree structure including "financial analysis" includes "profitability analysis" and "safety analysis" as the fourth hierarchical classification. The progress status processing unit 112 identifies answer results for question elements "profitability analysis method" and "safety analysis method" associated with "profitability analysis" and "safety analysis" as the aggregation range.

According to this example, the server 1 can calculate the implementation status of questions for the business element selected by the user. The user can check the implementation status of questions for any level or any business element. Therefore, the user can check the progress of the skill check of the business curriculum in detail.

In one example, when a user is an individual user studying a business curriculum, the progress status processing unit 112 identifies the aggregation range from the aggregated data associated with the user.

In another example, when the user is an administrator who manages a business curriculum, the progress status processing unit 112 identifies the scope of aggregation from the aggregated data associated with members of the organization selected by the administrator.

The progress processing unit 112 calculates the progress based on the extracted aggregated data (step S103). In step S103, for example, the progress processing unit 112 calculates the number of correct answers relative to the total number of questions, the correct answer progress rate, the progress rate, etc.

In one example, if the user is an individual user studying a business curriculum, the progress processing unit 112 calculates the progress of the user. The server 1 can calculate the implementation status of questions for each user. The user can check the progress of his/her skill check in detail.

In another example, if the user is an administrator who manages a business curriculum, the progress processing unit 112 calculates the progress of the members of an organization selected by the administrator. The server 1 can calculate the implementation status of the questions for each organization. The user can check in detail the progress of the skill checks for all members of the organizations that he or she manages.

The communication processing unit 110 outputs data for displaying the progress of the answer to the question element to the information processing terminal 2 (step S104). In step S104, for example, the communication processing unit 110 outputs data for forming a progress display image to the information processing terminal 2 based on the progress calculated by the progress processing unit 112. The communication processing unit 210 of the information processing terminal 2 acquires the data for forming the progress display image. The display control unit of the information processing terminal 2 displays the progress display image on the display device 27.

The question display image displayed on the information processing terminal 2 will be described.
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a question display image displayed on the information processing terminal 2 according to the embodiment. A user of the business curriculum can train to solve questions set in the business curriculum based on the question display image displayed on the display device 27 of the information processing terminal 2. FIG. 7 illustrates a question display image displayed when a user of the information processing terminal 2 selects a question element for which training is to be performed. In the example of FIG. 7, a question set in the business curriculum "alcohol menu recipe" is illustrated. The business curriculum "alcohol menu recipe" includes a first hierarchical classification "cocktail recipe", a second hierarchical classification "gin base", a third hierarchical classification "long", a fourth hierarchical classification "build", and a question hierarchy "gin and tonic recipe". The question display image in FIG. 7 illustrates an image when the question "gin and tonic recipe" is selected by the user.

The question display image includes at least the question title, question text, answer options, and answer buttons. The question display image may also include the business curriculum name, question number, etc.

In the example of FIG. 7, the answer options include videos. The user can view the videos of each answer option by selecting an answer option by clicking, touching, or the like. For example, the communication processing unit 110 of the server 1 may output the video of the selected answer option based on a selection operation by the user of the information processing terminal 2. The communication processing unit 110 may output data for displaying the video of the answer option as a modal display to the information processing terminal 2. The communication processing unit 210 of the information processing terminal 2 acquires the video of the answer option. The display control unit 211 of the information processing terminal 2 displays the video of the answer option on the display device 27. The display control unit 211 may display the video of the answer option on the display device 27 as a modal display. The user may enlarge, play, pause, etc. the video.

In this example, the business curriculum designer can set videos as answer options and create a wide variety of questions. Users can answer the questions by watching the videos, allowing for a skill check in a format that is closer to real-life situations.

The user can answer by selecting the desired answer option and selecting the answer button by clicking or touching it. The communication processing unit 210 of the information processing terminal 2 outputs the input information of the answer selected by the user to the server 1. The question processing unit 113 of the server 1 calculates the answer result based on the input answer.

When the user is solving a question in training mode, the communication processing unit 110 of the server 1 may output data for displaying the correct answer and an explanation to the information processing terminal 2 after the user inputs the answer. The display control unit 211 of the information processing terminal 2 displays the correct answer and an explanation on the display device 27. The correct answer and the explanation may include a video. The communication processing unit 110 may output data for displaying the correct answer and the explanation as a modal display to the information processing terminal 2. The display control unit 211 may display the correct answer and the explanation as a modal display on the display device 27. The modal display allows the user to carry out training with good response.

In the above example, the answer options are described as including videos, but this is not limited to the above. The answer options include at least one of text data, image data, and video data. Similarly, the correct answer and explanation include at least one of text data, image data, and video data.

The question display image may include a question image or video instead of or in addition to the question text. The communication processing unit 110 of the server 1 may output question text data including at least one of text data, image data, and video data to the information processing terminal 2. The communication processing unit 210 of the information processing terminal 2 acquires the question text data. The display control unit 211 of the information processing terminal 2 displays at least one of the text data, image data, and video data of the question text on the display device 27 based on the question text data.

According to this example, the business curriculum designer can set at least one of text data, image data, and video data for the question text, answer options, correct answers, and explanations. This allows the business curriculum designer to create a wide variety of questions. Users can tackle questions in a variety of formats and take skill checks in a variety of formats. The server 1 can support the easy design of a variety of business curricula according to the business content. The server 1 provides the user with a variety of business curricula according to the business content, and the user can learn the business content in a variety of formats.
