Information display apparatus, information display terminal, method of controlling information display apparatus, method of controlling information display terminal, and computer readable recording medium

A method of controlling an information display apparatus, the method comprising, by a processor:

• displaying a text in a first display area of a display;
• displaying, in a second display area of the display, a location indicator indicating a location of a portion of the text displayed in the first display area;
• displaying, in a third display area of the display, the portion of the text at the location indicated by the location indicator in an enlarged manner such that a display size of the portion of the text in the third display area is larger than a display size of the portion of the text displayed in the first display area, wherein the processor updates the portion of the text displayed in the third display area in accordance with a user operation to move the location indicator to indicate a new location;
• detecting a user operation to specify and designate a previously undesignated character string in the portion of the text displayed in the third display area, and change a display state of the designated character string from an original display state in which the character string was displayed when it was undesignated to a changed display state to visually indicate that the character string has been designated by the user operation, wherein the processor is operable to detect the user operation to specify and designate any character string in the text displayed on the display such that the designated character string is not a character string that has been predetermined to be designated prior to detection of the user operation to specify and designate the character string;
• determining, by referring to a memory in which a plurality of keywords are stored in advance, whether a keyword among the plurality of keywords stored in advance is included in a part of the designated character string;
• if it is determined that the keyword is included in the part of the designated character string, changing a display state of the keyword such that the keyword is visually distinguishable from another part of the character string, and generating problem setting data based on the keyword included in the designated character string;
• and
• transmitting the problem setting data to an external terminal,
• wherein the method further comprises:
• displaying an image in the third display area;
• and
• in a case in which the keyword is included in the designated character string and a user operation is detected to designate a part of the image corresponding to the keyword, changing a display state of the designated part of the image to visually indicate that the part has been designated and to generate the problem setting data based on the designated character string, the keyword, and the designated part of the image.

A non-transitory recording medium having a processor-readable program recorded thereon that is executable to cause a processor to:

• display a text in a first display area of the display;
• display, in a second display area of the display, a location indicator indicating a location of a portion of the text displayed in the first display area;
• display, in a third display area of the display, the portion of the text at the location indicated by the location indicator in an enlarged manner such that a display size of the portion of the text in the third display area is larger than a display size of the portion of the text displayed in the first display area, wherein the processor updates the portion of the text displayed in the third display area in accordance with a user operation to move the location indicator to indicate a new location;
• detect a user operation to specify and designate a previously undesignated character string in the portion of the text displayed in the third display area, and change a display state of the designated character string from an original display state in which the character string was displayed when it was undesignated to a changed display state to visually indicate that the character string has been designated by the user operation, wherein the processor is operable to detect the user operation to specify and designate any character string in the text displayed on the display such that the designated character string is not a character string that has been predetermined to be designated prior to detection of the user operation to specify and designate the character string;
• determine, by referring to a memory in which a plurality of keywords are stored in advance, whether a keyword among the plurality of keywords stored in advance is included in a part of the designated character string;
• if it is determined that the keyword is included in the part of the designated character string, change a display state of the keyword such that the keyword is visually distinguishable from another part of the character string, and generate problem setting data based on the keyword included in the designated character string;
• and
• transmit the problem setting data to an external terminal,
• wherein the program further causes the processor to:
• display an image in the third display area;
• and
• in a case in which the keyword is included in the designated character string and a user operation is detected to designate a part of the image corresponding to the keyword, change a display state of the designated part of the image to visually indicate that the part has been designated and to generate the problem setting data based on the designated character string, the keyword, and the designated part of the image.
