Abstract

There is provided a written examination system in which paper consumption and flowing out of examination questions in a written examination may be prevented. The written examination system according to the present invention comprises: a display device 12 used by each examinee taking a written examination; and an information processing device 16 providing examination question data to the display device 12. The display device 12 includes: a display part 124 including electronic paper on which examination question data is displayed; a receiving part 121 receiving the examination question data from the information processing device 16; and a display control part 123 controlling the display state of the examination question data on the display part 124. The information processing device 16 includes: a question data storing part 163 storing the examination question data; and a transmission control part 162 controlling transmission of the examination question data to the display device 12.

Claims

1. A written examination system comprising a display device used by each of examinees taking a written examination, and an information processing device providing examination question data to the display device, wherein

the display device includes:

a display part including electronic paper on which the examination question data is displayed;

a receiving part for receiving the examination question data transmitted from the information processing device; and

a display control part for displaying the examination question data received by the receiving part on the display part, and controlling the display state of the display part, and

the information processing device includes;

a question data storing part for storing the examination question data; and

a transmission control part for reading out the examination question data from the question data storing part, and controlling transmission of the examination question data to the display device.

2. The written examination system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmission control part counts elapsed time after the examination question data is transmitted to the display device, and, reads out the examination question data different from the examination question data under displaying from the question data storing part and transmits to the display device, when the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined value.

3. The written examination system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the display device further includes an external signal input part into which an external signal for changing a display state of the display device is input, and the display control part displays the examination question data different from the examination question data under displaying on the display part according to the external signal input to the external signal input part.

4. The written examination system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmission control part transmits a signal for erasing the display of the examination question data to the display device at predetermined time.

5. The written examination system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the display control part erases the display of the display part according to the external signal input from the external signal input part.

6. The written examination system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

an answer input device used for input of answer data indicating the contents answered by an examinee, wherein

the display device receives the answer data input by the answer input device, and the answer data is displayed on the display part.

7. The written examination system as claimed in claim 6, wherein

the information processing device further including:

a receiving part for receiving the answer data input by the answer input device;

a character recognition part for performing character recognition processing of the answer data received by the receiving part; and

an answer storing part for storing the answer data for each of the examinees, wherein

the character recognition part stores data, which includes characters recognized by the character recognition part, as answer data in the answer storing part.

8. A written examination device used by each of examinees taking a written examination, comprising:

a question data storing part for storing examination question data;

a display part including electronic paper on which the examination question data is displayed; and

a display control part for reading out the examination question data from the question data storing part, displaying the examination question data on the display part, and controlling the display state of the display part.

9. The written examination device as claimed in claim 8, wherein the display control part counts elapsed time after an arbitrary piece of the examination question data is displayed on the display part, and, reads out the examination question data different from the examination question data under displaying from the question data storing part and displays on the display part when the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined value.

10. The written examination device as claimed in claim 8, further comprising

an external signal input part into which an external signal for changing the display state of the display part is input, wherein

the display control part reads out the examination question data different from the examination question data under displaying from the question data storing part and displays on the display part, according to the external signal input from the external signal input part.

11. The written examination device as claimed in claim 8, wherein the display control part erases the display of the display part at predetermined time.

12. The written examination device as claimed in claim 10, wherein the display control part erases the display of the display part according to the external signal input from the external signal input part.

13. The written examination device as claimed in claim 8, further comprising:

an answer input part into which answer data indicating the contents answered by an examinee is input; and

an answer storing part for storing the answer data input from the answer input part for each of the examinees, wherein

the display control part displays the answer data input from the answer input part on the display part.

14. The written examination device as claimed in claim 13, further comprising

a character recognition part for performing character recognition processing of the answer data input into the answer input part, wherein

the character recognition part stores data including characters recognized by the character recognition part as answer data in the answer storing part.
