Therefore, it is possible to improve the scoring efficiency and to effectively prevent scoring errors, which brings about great practical effects.

[Embodiment of the Invention] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an embodiment device.

The tablet with printer 1 consists of a tablet main body and a blink mechanism integrated into the tablet main body. This printer mechanism includes, for example, a flexible arm that is moved on a tablet surface while controlling the position of its tip, and a recording pen attached to the tip of this flexible arm.

The tablet 1~main unit detects information on characters and figures written on a sheet (scoring sheet) placed on the tablet surface as 11 standard data on the tablet surface, and transfers this to the input section 2. Further, the printer mechanism prints (records) characters, figures, etc. on a sheet of paper placed on the tablet surface under the control of the output section 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the tablet 1 is constructed by dividing the tablet surface into a command area 1a and a character area 1b.

By selectively specifying areas such as "Start" and "Format name" set in this command area 1a with a pen or finger, the area information associated with each command is detected by the tablet body, and the command Information is provided to the input section 2.

In addition, the information on the character and figure drawn with a pen or finger on the character-filled canister 1b is detected as a time series of its coordinate data, and is transferred to the input unit 2 to HFJ of the character and figure, which will be described later.
, subjected to processing. The character/graphic information inputted from the character entry canister 1b is extracted in units of one character by the input section 2 and sequentially transferred to the control section 4. In the figure, the IC is the 12th point of the scoring sheet placed on the tablet surface.
This is a mark to specify the location.

The control section 4 drives the recognition section 5, form input/output section 6, calculation section 7, and output section 3 in accordance with commands given via the tablet 1, thereby controlling the operation of the apparatus.

The recognition unit 5 receives the input unit 5 via the III 111 unit 4.
The character pattern recognition dictionary 8 is used to perform recognition processing on character symbol information provided from the character pattern recognition dictionary 8, and the recognition result is sent back to the control unit 4. This recognition process is performed in real time using a technique such as pattern matching.

On the other hand, the format storage section 9 stores the scoring items of the scoring sheets placed on the tabrefs 1 to 1 and calculation formulas for calculating the scoring values for the scoring results as format information for the scoring sheets. be. If the format information stored in the format storage section 9 exists corresponding to multiple types of scoring sheets, the format input/output section 6 stores the format information corresponding to the format name specified via the tablet 1 as described above. The format storage section 9 is selectively read out and the format is provided to the control section 4.

In accordance with the format information read out from the format storage section 9 in this way, the control section 4 determines the recognition process based on the input position of the recognized character/figure on the tablet surface and the position of the scoring item on the scoring sheet. It is determined for which scoring item on the scoring sheet the character/figure is given.

This determination result, that is, the recognition result for the character figure and the information of the scoring item in which the character figure is written, is sent to the calculation unit 7.
given to.

The calculation unit 7 converts the information inputted for each scoring item on the scoring sheet given from the control unit 4 (recognition results for the input characters and figures) into a scoring calculation indicated as part of the form information. It is calculated according to a formula, and the scores are totaled by this calculation. The scoring results are stored in the internal memory of the arithmetic section 7 and sent back to the control section 4, and displayed on the display 10 under the control of the output section 3 for monitoring. Then, a passing result on the monitor is obtained and printed on a scoring sheet placed on the tablet 1 by the printer mechanism of the tablet 1.

The above is the basic configuration of this device.

Here, the format of the scoring sheet and the format storage section 9 that stores the format information will be explained in more detail.

The scoring sheet is provided, for example, in the format shown in FIG.

This grading Mll is in the form of an answer sheet provided separately from the question paper, and has a column 12 at the top for writing the name and affiliation of the answer. In addition, 13 in the figure is a space for entering answers to questions, each of which is a scoring item. Further, 14 in the figure is a space for entering the scoring subtotal for one question, and 15 is a field for writing the total scoring value. Note that 16 is a heading that associates the answer entry space 12 with each question.

The format storage unit 9 stores information on the format of the scoring sheet 11 and its scoring process as format information, for example, in the fourth format.
It is stored as shown in the figure.

If there are multiple types of scoring sheets 11, this format information
It is stored in the form storage section 9 in correspondence with each scoring sheet 11.

That is, one piece of format information consists of format name data 21 that specifies the format, its heading data 22, item data 23, and formula data 24.

The format name data 21 is a format name expressed as a string of character codes, and is set by inputting character information through the tablet 1, for example, and recognition processing of the character information by the recognition unit 5. . Furthermore, the heading data 22 consists of data of the heading start coordinates of the heading 16 on the scoring sheet 11 and the code of the character to be displayed there.

The item data 23 is data indicating the area of each scoring item (answer entry space 13) on the scoring sheet 11;
and pointer information that specifies the arithmetic expression applied to the scoring item.

Furthermore, the formula data 24 is composed of various calculation formulas used in scoring processing, and is selectively designated by the formula pointer.

It should be noted that the calculation formula is inputted to, for example, scoring item 13,
A formula for multiplying the recognized scoring information by the scoring value set for the scoring item 13, or a formula for multiplying the scoring information for each item by a predetermined scoring item unit (group of questions), or the entire set of scoring items. It is composed of expressions that perform addition processing over .

The execution format of the scoring process for the scoring sheet 11 is specified by the format information made up of these data.

Next, the operation of the scoring process in this device will be explained.

The operation of this device is controlled by the control section 4.

As shown in the schematic control flow in FIG. 5, the control unit 4 first clears various control flags and memories at the start of operation, such as when turning on the power of the device, and initializes them (2). Step A). After that, it receives sub-part signals and data from each part (step B), and determines where the signals are given from (steps C20, to G).
Perform the following processing.

Specifically, when information is given from the input section 2 (tablet 1), a predetermined input process H shown in FIG. 6 is performed, for example, and when information is given from the output section 3, For example, output response processing (2) shown on the left side of FIG. 7 is performed. Similarly, when information is given from the recognition section 5, recognition response processing J shown in FIG. 8 is performed for E, and when information is given from the form input/output section 6, for F, The format information read response process K shown in section 1 is performed. Further, when information is given from the arithmetic unit 7, G performs the arithmetic response process shown in FIG. 9, for example.

In addition, if the information is not provided by each of these departments,
For example, other processing M such as outputting an error message is performed.

The operation of this apparatus based on the control operation of the control section 4 will be described below.

When using this device, the user first specifies the "r start" command on the tablet 1 and inputs the command information to the input section 2 to start.

When the input unit 2 sends the stranded data of the tablet 1 indicating a "start" command to the control unit 4 along with the character delimiter PC,
The control section 4 identifies from the coordinate data whether the information from the input section 2 is a command or character information. In this case, since it is a "start" command, the scoring flag for control is set to "1", and a message display request signal is sent to the output unit 3, for example, "Please input the name of trench 2 from the tablet. ” and other message data.

The output unit 3 inputs this information and outputs it to the display 10.
The above message data will be displayed on the screen, and the user will be prompted to enter a name that specifies the grading paper to be graded.

The output section 3 completes displaying this message data and returns a display end signal to the Ill III section 4.

Through the above processing, the control section 4 enters a state in which a format name can be input.

However, in order to input the form name from tablet 1, the user first enters f! When the '1 formula name j command is specified, the information is given to the control section 4 in the same manner as in the case of command input described above, and the format flag is set to "'1". After that, if you place a piece of paper directly on the tablet 1 or write the form name on it by hand,
A time series of coordinate data indicating the writing stroke of the character is input via the tablet 1. At this time, when the input unit 2 inputs the character data "T Mathematics 1" as shown in FIG. The data strings are transferred to the fill 50 section 4.

Since the format flag is set to ``1'' as described above, the control section 4 sequentially stores the series of input character data in the format name coordinate memory (FIG. 10(a)).

After completing the input of character data indicating the format name in this way, the fcRJ command is input from the tablet 1. Then, the control unit 4 learns that the character data input of the format name has been completed by inputting this command, and at the same time, since the format flag is set to °"1°", the format name stored in the format name coordinate memory is Each character indicating the name is sequentially read character by character, and this character data is given to the recognition section 5 along with a recognition request signal.

The recognition section 5 receives this recognition request signal, performs recognition processing on the character pattern using the character pattern recognition dictionary 8, and returns the recognition result to the control section 4 as, for example, a character code. This recognition process is repeatedly performed on each character data that is provided with a recognition request signal from the control section 4 and on the character data that is provided together with the recognition request signal.

The control unit 4 sequentially stores the string of character codes that have been recognized in this manner in the format name memory as shown in FIG. 10(b). When the last character code of the input character string is received, the format flag is set to "2" and the character delimiter P added after the last character code is set.
Replace C with the character string EC.

After completing such processing, the control unit 4 sends the character code string (excluding character delimiter code PC and character string end code EC) stored in the format name memory and message data to the output unit along with a display request signal. Transfer to 3. As a result, the output unit 3 displays information on the above character example on the display 10, prompting the user to confirm the recognition result for inputting the above-mentioned format name.

The user of this device looks at the form name displayed on the display, and if it is correct, the user selects the form name from the tablet 1.
Enter the "Confirm" command. If there is an error in the recognition result, the "format name" command is issued, the above-described format name input process is repeated, and the format name is input in the same manner.

When the "confirm" command is input, the command information is given to the control unit 4 in the same manner as other command information. At this time, since the format flag is set to "2", the control unit 4 sends the character data string of the format name stored in the format name memory to the format input/output unit 6 along with the format read request signal. Forward.

In response to this request, the form input/output unit 6 searches the form name data of the form information for the various scoring sheets stored in the form storage unit 9, and reads the form information of the corresponding form name from the form storage unit 9. put out. This form information is then sent back to the control section 4 together with a form reading end signal. The control unit 4 stores this form information in a form data memory.

For the heading data of the form information stored in the form data memory, the control unit 4 sequentially transmits the value obtained by converting the heading start coordinates to the coordinates on the display and the code of the heading character together with the display request signal. The data is transferred to the output section 3.

In response to this, the output section 3 displays the heading on the display 10 and returns a display end signal to the control section 4.

Similarly, the control section 4 converts the item coordinates of the item data of the form information stored in the form data memory into the coordinates on the display and sequentially transfers them to the output section 3 together with the display request signal. All of the items are displayed on the display 10.

As a result, the format of the scoring sheet shown in FIG. 3 mentioned above is displayed on the display 10, and the user can confirm this.

After a series of processes as described above, the control section 4 sets the format flag to "3" and the scoring flag to "2", and transmits the format information of the scoring sheet to be graded to the control section 4.
Read the data to complete the preparation for the scoring process.

Next, the scoring process will be explained.

When the setting of the format information described above is completed, the user places the scoring sheet 11 on the tablet 1. This set of scoring sheets 11 has the marking sheets 11 attached to the mark 1C.
The coordinate relationship between the scoring sheet 11 and the tablet 1 is determined by aligning the upper left corners of the grading sheet 11 and the tablet 1. Note that the mark 1C may be printed on the surface of the tablet, or may be written using paint. Furthermore, a jig for mechanical positioning may be used.

The grader judges the answers written in each scoring item 13 on the scoring sheet 11 set on the tablet 1, and places a scoring mark on the corresponding scoring item 13 from the top of the scoring sheet 11, for example, "○" or An “x” will be entered. still,
In addition to these marks, marks such as "Δ" may also be used to perform multi-level scoring.

However, in this way r written on tablet 1
Mark information such as OJ rXJ is given to the control unit 4 in the same manner as in the case of character input of the style core described above. In this case, since the format flag is set to "3", information on the input mark is stored in the scoring coordinate memory. Thereafter, this input character mark is transferred to the recognition section 5 together with the recognition request signal and subjected to recognition processing.

The control unit 4 sets "1" if the recognition result is fOJ, and 0 if the recognition result is 1rXJ.
” are sequentially stored in the item value memory corresponding to the item. This item value memory stores the above “1”, 0, and 0 in the same order as the item coordinates stored in the format data memory, for example.
'The determined item values are stored in order.

At this time, the control unit 4 determines to which item the input jOJ rX: information is assigned based on the input mark coordinate data stored in the scoring coordinate data memory and the form data. Items indicated by! The determination is made as follows from the coordinate data indicating the i area.

To explain this item area determination algorithm in detail, first, for each scoring item area shown in the form data, the interval (difference) between it and the adjacent (next) scoring item area is determined. This difference is Δxi for the first item,
It is obtained as data Δy1. After that, regarding the interval between each of these scoring item areas, the average interval is mΔ
X.

mΔy, and as shown in FIG. 11, each scoring area is expanded by mΔx and mΔy to virtually set large scoring item areas.

Then, from the coordinate series of the scoring marks written for each scoring item, its circumscribing frame is determined as shown in Figure 12. Find out whether it is included in the proportion of

Then, the large scoring item area that includes, for example, 50% or more of the circumscribed frame area is detected, and the scoring item 13 from which this large scoring item area is obtained is recognized as having been given that scoring mark.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, two adjacent scoring items 13
In some cases, the major scoring item areas overlap with each other. Each of these major scoring item areas may include 50% or more of the circumscribed frame area of the scoring mark.

In such a case, for example, the item whose area area including the circumscribing frame is larger may be recognized as having been given that scoring mark.

Conversely, cases may occur in which two adjacent major scoring item areas each contain 50% or more of the circumscribed frame area of the scoring mark, making it impossible to determine which of them has been marked with a scoring mark. .

In such a case, an arrangement may be made so that, for example, items with lower scoring item numbers are determined to have been marked with a scoring mark.

In this way, when the scoring marks attached to each scoring item 13 are recognized and the scoring results are stored in the scoring value memory, the control unit 4 displays the 1st value in the scoring coordinate memory on the display screen. This coordinate data and the above-mentioned character codes indicating "o" and "x" are transferred to the output unit 3 along with the display request signal.

As a result, the input status of the scoring results is displayed on the display 10 in correspondence with each scoring item 13.

Monitoring this display image, the grader corrects input errors and inputs grade marks for grading items for which marks have been omitted, in the same manner as described above.

Thus, the scoring for all scoring items 13 is completed,
When the input of the scoring mark and the completion of the recognition process are confirmed, a "score" command is input and specified from the tablet 1.

When the "score" command is input, the command information is given to the control unit 4, and score calculation processing is performed.

This score calculation process uses the formula pointer attached to each scoring item stored in the form data memory as a clue, and uses the aI! specified by the pointer as a clue! The formula is read from the form data memory and executed. Note that if the value of the expression pointer is (-1), it indicates that there is no arithmetic expression for that scoring item. In this case, a pointer to the next item will be detected.

The control section 4 then retrieves the arithmetic expression specified by the expression pointer given to the scoring item 13 from the form data memory, and transfers it to the arithmetic section 7 together with the arithmetic request signal.

The arithmetic unit 7 then analyzes the arithmetic expression and provides the item number indicating the scoring item necessary for the calculation to the control unit 4 along with the item value request signal according to the analysis result. Upon receiving this request, the control section 4 looks at the contents of the memory given to the corresponding scoring item, and transfers the item value data to the calculation section 7. In this case, if the content of the scoring item in the item value memory is blank, the item value is set as (○) and the data is transferred.

The syntax of this arithmetic expression is expressed as, for example, the item value of scoring item i is [il, and the process of multiplying this item value [il by a predetermined scoring value I is (i, I). And the above [il
, (i, I) as the unit of operation, perform four arithmetic operations (+, −,
*, ÷) processing is performed.

The calculation unit 7 then substitutes these item values [il into the calculation formula indicated by the format data and executes the calculation process.

For example, three scoring items A I, A 2. For A3, the scoring evaluation value is set as (5), (3), and (2), and the scoring calculation formula for each of these items is ((AI, 5) + (A2.3) + (A3.
2)). And each of the above scoring items AI, A2. For A3 (x, x, O)
When a score of The result (2) will be obtained as a score result.

The score value calculated in this manner is sent back to the control unit 4, and the score value for the designated item in the item value memory, that is, the scoring frame 14.
It is stored as 15 item values.

Such arithmetic processing is repeated for all items indicated by the form data.

Then, in the control unit 4, if printing is specified for the item value data, the staff data of the item and the item value data are transferred to the output unit 3 together with the print request signal,
The item value (score m as a grading unit) is printed on the designated item of the grading sheet 11 placed on the tablet 1.

As described above, all scores for the scoring items on the scoring sheet 11 are calculated, and the subtotal score obtained for each group of questions and the total score are printed out on the scoring sheet 11 and the process is carried out. finish.

At this time, the score value may be stored in association with the scoring sheet and managed.

When the processing for one grading sheet 11 is completed in this way, the grading sheet 11 is removed from the tablet 1, the next transfer sheet 11 of the same format is set on the tablet 1, and the next grading process begins. . To start this scoring process, a "confirm" command is input from the tablet 1. Then, since the form flag is 3''', the control unit 4 clears the item value memory and scoring coordinate memory, respectively, and waits for input of the next scoring mark.Therefore, the above-mentioned "confirmation" After inputting the command, if a scoring mark is inputted on the scoring sheet 11 for the above-mentioned method, the scoring process will be performed in the same manner as the process described above.

In this way, the scoring process for the scoring sheets 11 of the same format is performed one after another. Then, when the grading process for all grading sheets is completed, select "Finish" from the tablet 1.
Enter the command. By inputting this command, the control unit 4 knows that the scoring process has ended, and clears all flags and memories used in the scoring process.

In addition, when the above-mentioned scoring process is completed, if you want to know statistical data such as the average score, maximum score, minimum gain +:, (output, deviation value, etc.), please use the scoring form as described above. Statistical calculation processing may be performed on the score value information stored in the above manner, and the results may be printed out.

As explained above about the basic operation of this device, this device can efficiently perform scoring processing on daily scoring sheets without using large-scale devices such as OCR or mark readers. can. Moreover, by simply adding intermediate scoring marks such as "o" and "x" to the scoring sheet 11 placed on the tablet 1, the scoring process can be performed easily and efficiently.

Furthermore, since the score calculation for the scoring information is automatically performed, the scorer can be freed from the troublesome score calculation work, and his/her fatigue can be significantly reduced. Therefore,
It effectively prevents the occurrence of grading errors and can be widely applied, from grading small-scale tests for each class to grading large-scale tests for many students. Great practical effects can be achieved.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but can be modified and implemented as follows.

For example, in the embodiment, the scoring sheet 11 for the tablet 1 is
Although the setting position of the marking sheet 11 is specified by the mark 1C, the scoring sheet 11 may be placed at an arbitrary position on the tablet 1. In this case, for example, a "paper set" command is provided on the tablet 1, and the setting position coordinates of specific positions (upper left corner and lower right corner) of the scoring paper 11 on the tablet 1 are sent to the tablet 1 as shown in FIG. 1, and thereby specify the positional relationship between the coordinates of each item area on the scoring sheet 11 and the coordinate system of the tablet 1.

In addition, in the example, ``○'' and ``×'' were used as scoring marks, but three types such as ``○J rXj r△'' may be used, and grading marks such as ``◎J'' and ``f=J'' In addition, the score values set according to these scoring marks may be determined according to the specifications.In this case, the data structure of each item in the form data may be set as shown in FIG. 14, and a scoring value corresponding to the scoring mark may be set for each item.

In addition, here we have explained the scoring sheet 11 that is separate from the question paper, but in the case of a scoring sheet with an answer entry column on the question paper, by handling only the answer as a scoring item, it is possible to The scoring process can be performed in the same manner as in the embodiment.

Also, when it comes to so-called fill-in-the-blank questions such as literature questions,
Just treat that hole (answer entry field) as a scoring item.

Further, the form data stored in the form storage section 9 may be set and registered by the user as necessary. In this case, on the tablet 1, select "Format Settings".
Command input channels such as "Item", "Heading", "Formula Setting", and "Form Registration J" are provided, and various data constituting the form data are sequentially input as shown in FIG. You should register as a new user.

Specifically, after setting and inputting the hammer type name of the format to be registered, the scoring sheet of the format to be registered is placed on the tablet 1, and the item coordinate data, etc. are input in order. Then, after setting and inputting the scoring value for each item and the calculation formula for calculating the score, and confirming the input data, this may be registered in the form storage section 9 under the form name.

However, the present invention can be implemented with various modifications without departing from the gist thereof.
