Abstract

A learning assistance apparatus 10 includes: a data acquisition unit 11 that acquires a problem and an answer corresponding thereto from a data structure that includes the problem and the answer as data; an operation reception unit 12 that receives a first operation of moving a display region in a first direction, a second operation of moving the display region in a second direction, and a third operation of moving the display region in a third direction; and a display control unit 13 that causes another problem to be displayed on a screen according to a movement when the first operation is received after the problem is displayed, causes the answer corresponding to the displayed problem to be displayed on the screen when the second operation is received after the problem is displayed, and causes another problem to be displayed on the screen when the third operation is received after the answer is displayed due to the second operation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A learning assistance apparatus comprising:
a data acquisition unit configured to acquire a first problem and an answer corresponding thereto from a data structure that includes the first problem and the answer as data;
an operation reception unit configured to receive a first operation of moving a display region in a first direction, a second operation of moving the display region in a second direction, and a third operation of moving the display region in a third direction; and
a display control unit configured to cause a second problem to be displayed on a screen according to a movement when the first operation is received after the first problem is displayed, cause the answer corresponding to the first problem to be displayed on the screen when the second operation is received after the first problem is displayed, and cause a third problem to be displayed on the screen when the third operation is received after the answer is displayed due to the second operation,
wherein the data structure includes, as the first problem, a problem that is answered with a task to be executed in an agricultural field, and furthermore includes, as the answer, the task to be executed in the agricultural field,
and wherein the learning assistance apparatus is realized by a computer having a processor, the processor of the computer functioning as the data acquisition unit, the operation reception unit, and the display control unit.

2. The learning assistance apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the data structure further includes a hint corresponding to the first problem as data,
the operation reception unit further receives a fourth operation of moving the display region in a fourth direction and a fifth operation of moving the display region in a fifth direction, and
the display control unit causes the hint corresponding to the first problem to be displayed on a screen when the fourth operation is received after the first problem is displayed, and causes the third problem to be displayed on the screen when the fifth operation is received after the hint is displayed due to the fourth operation.

3. The learning assistance apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the data structure further includes data indicating a state that is predicted after execution of the task to be executed in the agricultural field, and
the display control unit causes the predicted state, which corresponds to the displayed answer, to be displayed on the screen when the second operation is further received after the answer is displayed, and causes the third problem to be displayed on the screen when the third operation is further received after the predicted state is displayed due to the second operation.

4. The learning assistance apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
in the data structure, each piece of data includes content of the data, a possible direction of movement from the data, and a destination of movement from the data, and
when an operation is received, the display control unit causes a specific problem or a specific answer to be displayed based on the possible direction of movement and the destination of movement in the displayed data.

5. A learning assistance method comprising:
(a) a step of acquiring a first problem and an answer corresponding thereto from a data structure that includes the first problem and the answer as data;
(b) a step of receiving a first operation of moving a display region in a first direction, a second operation of moving the display region in a second direction, and a third operation of moving the display region in a third direction; and
(c) a step of causing a second problem to be displayed on a screen according to a movement when the first operation is received after the first problem is displayed, causing the answer corresponding to the first problem to be displayed on the screen when the second operation is received after the first problem is displayed, and causing a third problem to be displayed on the screen when the third operation is received after the answer is displayed due to the second operation,
wherein the data structure includes, as the first problem, a problem that is answered with a task to be executed in an agricultural field, and furthermore includes, as the answer, the task to be executed in the agricultural field.

6. The learning assistance method according to claim 5 , wherein
the data structure further includes a hint corresponding to the first problem as data,
in the step (b), a fourth operation of moving the display region in a fourth direction and a fifth operation of moving the display region in a fifth direction are further received, and
in the step (c), the hint corresponding to the first problem is displayed on a screen when the fourth operation is received after the first problem is displayed, and the third another said problem is displayed on the screen when the fifth operation is received after the hint is displayed due to the fourth operation.

7. The learning assistance method according to claim 5 , wherein
the data structure further includes data indicating a state that is predicted after execution of the task to be executed in the agricultural field, and
in the step (c), the predicted state corresponding to the displayed answer is displayed on the screen when the second operation is further received after the answer is displayed, and the third problem is displayed on the screen when the third operation is further received after the predicted state is displayed due to the second operation.

8. The learning assistance method according to claim 5 , wherein
in the data structure, each piece of data includes content of the data, a possible direction of movement from the data, and a destination of movement from the data, and
in the step (c), a specific problem or a specific answer is displayed based on the possible direction of movement and the destination of movement in the displayed data when an operation is received.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that includes commands for causing a computer to execute:
(a) a step of acquiring a first problem and an answer corresponding thereto from a data structure that includes the first problem and the answer as data;
(b) a step of receiving a first operation of moving a display region in a first direction, a second operation of moving the display region in a second direction, and a third operation of moving the display region in a third direction; and
(c) a step of causing a second problem to be displayed on a screen according to a movement when the first operation is received after the first problem is displayed, causing the answer corresponding to the first problem to be displayed on the screen when the second operation is received after the first problem is displayed, and causing a third problem to be displayed on the screen when the third operation is received after the answer is displayed due to the second operation,
wherein the data structure includes, as the first problem, a problem that is answered with a task to be executed in an agricultural field, and furthermore includes, as the answer, the task to be executed in the agricultural field.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein
the data structure further includes a hint corresponding to the first problem as data,
in the step (b), a fourth operation of moving the display region in a fourth direction and a fifth operation of moving the display region in a fifth direction are further received, and
in the step (c), the hint corresponding to the first problem is displayed on a screen when the fourth operation is received after the first problem is dis
