Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a device that efficiently determines the layout of an office in real time by using a computer.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, when arranging departments (general affairs department, sales department, etc.) on each floor of a building in accordance with the office layout, a cross-sectional view of the building as shown in Figure 3 was used to calculate the effective floor area of each floor. It was customary to place them by hand using a plate or the like, taking this into consideration.

The conventional office layout procedure is shown in FIG. 6, and will be explained using FIGS. 2, 3, and 4.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, the designer writes the name and area of each department to be placed within a predetermined frame, as shown in the outer frame of the drawing and 2-1. Note that at this time, a department number is usually added to each department in consideration of the convenience of subsequent drawings.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, each floor is drawn according to the number of floors and active floor area 3-6. 3-1゜3-2.3-3 in the figure
．． Since the four points 3-4 are fixed, the length of the vertical line in each floor frame is divided equally by the number of floors, and the length of the horizontal line is the maximum value of the floor's effective floor area. The horizontal cup is taken as 100%, and the other floors are determined at proportions corresponding to it. Then, the name of each floor 3-5 and effective floor area 3-6
Mark it as a comment. After going through the above steps, each department will actually be allocated. This is Figure 4.

When arranging departments, first draw a vertical line as shown in 4-1 according to the ratio to the effective area of the floor, and then place a department Nα such as 4-2 in the center of the created department frame. Finally, subtract the effective floor area by the area value of the department in which it was placed. By repeating this process of arranging departments as many times as there are departments, the office layout diagram is completed.This 94701 diagram shows which departments are placed on which floors, and how much effective floor space remains on each floor. It was designed so that you could see at a glance what was going on.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional office layout described above, each step was performed manually, so the quality of the completed drawings varied depending on the skill level of the designer. For example, there were individual differences in the aesthetic appearance of letters, the thickness of lines, the pressure of the pen, etc., and these had a large effect on the quality of the finished drawing. Further, in the conventional work process shown in FIG. 6, when subtracting the effective floor area in the process of arranging each department shown in 6-1, calculation errors were likely to occur due to manual calculation.

Furthermore, once a department has been set up, it is not always possible to keep it on that floor until the end, and if it is moved to another floor, the rewriting process becomes extremely complicated. In addition, when a large number of similar drawings are required, the number of man-hours required increases.

[Means to solve the problem]

The office layout device of the present invention includes an input control unit that controls the input of information necessary for off-duty layout, a main memory unit that temporarily stores input data until the end of processing, and a drawing image as a result of processing the data. A display control unit that displays the image on the screen, a drawing database that stores the displayed drawing image and data in the main memory, an output control unit that sends the image of the completed drawing to the final output device, and a The data is processed and an image of the completed drawing is sent to the display control unit and stored in the drawing database.
It has a data processing section that allows drawing images to be sent from the database to the output control section whenever requested.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

The office layout device of the present invention is as shown in FIG.
Input control units 1-4 each connected to data processing unit 1-8
．． Main memory 1-71 Display control unit 1-61 Drawing database 1-9. It is composed of an output control section 1-1O.

Next, the operation of the device according to the present invention will be explained.

First, by inputting the name of a drawing from the keyboard 1-1, it is determined in step 5-1 whether a new drawing is to be created. The name of the input drawing is sent to the data processing unit 1i-a via the input control unit 1-4.
-8 is a drawing database 1-9 using the name of the drawing as a key
Search and determine whether there is relevant data. If there is data, it is read and the drawing image is sent to the display control unit 1-6, and the accompanying data (information on which department is located on which floor, etc.) is stored in the main storage unit 1.
Take shelter at -7. After that, the process moves to step 5-4. If there is no corresponding data in step 5-1, a new drawing will be created, so send a message to the display system @ section 6-6 to input information (data) for creating a new drawing. Send. Then step 5
-2, the information (data) necessary to create a cross-sectional view of the building as shown in Figure 3, namely the names of the floors 1, the effective floor area of each, the name of each department to be placed, and the area value of each. Input from keyboard 1-1. These input information (data) are sent to the data processing unit 1 in step 5-1 and interpolation.
- Sent to 8.

The data processing section 1-8 processes the received information (data) to create a drawing as shown in FIG. 3, and sends it to the display control section 1-6. Here, the procedure for processing information (data) will be explained. First, the information of each department to be placed is placed in the box 4-8 shown in FIG. 4 in the input number. At this time, the size of frame 4-10.4-11.4-12.4-13 is fixed. Further, the department Nα is added in ascending order of the input departments, such as 01.02. Next, we will create a cross-sectional view of the building. The length of the vertical lines shown in 4-9 is fixed, so by dividing this by the number of floors entered, you can find the length of 2 lines (vertical lines) out of 411 that indicate the frame of each floor. . After that, find the maximum value of the input effective floor area, and calculate the length of two lines (horizontal 1fA) out of the four lines indicating the frame of the floor with the maximum value at points 4-4 and 4-5. The distance between The length of horizontal lines on other floors is calculated based on the maximum percentage of the effective floor area.

For example, if the effective floor area of the 4th floor is 100, which is the maximum value, 1.
If the effective floor area of the 3rd floor is 50, the length of the horizontal line of the floor frame on the 3rd floor is half the length of that on the 4th floor. Then, in the order of input, the name of each floor 4-
14. Generate effective floor area 4-3. This step 7
-2, further register each element (name of each part, etc.) corresponding to the image of the drawing to be displayed on the tablet 1-2, and in a later step when you hit the tablet with the stylus pen 1-3, the displayed drawing The data processing unit 1-8 is made to be able to recognize which element in the data has been hit.

In step 5-3, the drawing image as a result of the processing in step 5-2 is sent from the data processing unit 1-8 to the display control unit 1-6, and in response, the display control unit displays the graphic display 1-6. Display on 5.

In contrast to the cross-sectional view in Figure 3 created through the above steps,
In the next step, you will actually place each department in the cross-sectional view. Step 5-4 is a step in which the user selects whether the upcoming work is ``arranging departments,'' ``moving departments,'' or ``finishing.'' This includes 1 tablet
-1, the method is to input the desired work item. I
If it is II, it is ``arrange department'' (step 5-5), if it is 2, it is ``move department J (step 5-7), and if it is 3, it is [end J (step 5-9)].

Step 5-5 is the arrangement of departments. To do this, first enter the name 4-15 of the department you want to place among the departments displayed on the graphic display 1-5 on the tablet 1-2.
The process starts by causing the data processing m1-8 to recognize this by hitting with the stylus pen 1-3. The data processing section that receives this reads out the area value of the section and gate to be placed from the main memory 1-7. Similarly, the name 4-14 of the desired floor is recognized, and the moving floor area of that floor is read out. Next, calculate the percentage of the effective floor area of the floor that the area of the department you want to place is 4-1.
Generates the vertical line shown in . For example, if the length of the horizontal line on the floor is lO and the effective floor area is 100, and the area of the department you want to place is 10, then a vertical line is generated at 1/10 from the left end of the horizontal line. After that, the department N (L) corresponding to the center of the frame of the department that has been turned is displayed, and the effective floor surface 14-3 is displayed.
is subtracted by the area value of the department where it is placed and displayed. This means that the department has been placed, and step 5-3.5-
I will go back to 4.

Step 5-7 is the movement of departments. To do this, first, move between the departments that have been placed from tablet 1-2 to stylus pen 1.
Hit -3, then hit the name of the floor you want to move to. Step 5-5 on the destination floor
The same processing is performed. On the source floor,
First, the hit department is deleted, and then the subsequent department is moved forward by the amount of the deleted department. To do this, first erase all the subsequent departments that have been placed, and then repeat the department placement as many times as the deleted departments in the same manner as in step 5-5.

In step 5-9, termination processing is performed. At this time, if you want to output the drawing displayed on the graphic display 1-5, the data processing section 1-8 takes out the drawing image from the display control note 1-6 according to the instruction from the tablet 1-2. It is sent to the output control section 1-10. The output control unit transfers this drawing image to plotter 1, which is the final output device.
-11 to output.

Finally, in step 5-11, the image of the drawing displayed on the display control section 1-6 and the drawing data held in the main storage section 1-7 are stored in the drawing database l-9. If the drawing has already been completed, the previous contents are updated with the results of the current processing. The key to access the drawing database in this step is step 5-1.
This is the name of the drawing entered in , but at this time, it is also possible to register the data with the name of that drawing and then register with the name of a different drawing. For example, after registering data with the name 8, continue with the name B (tablet).
If input from 1-2, the drawing image and drawing data of A can directly become the data of the drawing named B. In this way, it is possible to create several dozen identical drawings at once with different names. Steps if you want to partially correct it? All you have to do is go back to -1 and modify the drawing named B. Of course, the drawing data of A remains in the drawing database as is.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, by computerizing the process of office layout, the present invention can uniformize the quality of layout drawings, make them more complete, and eliminate calculation errors that tend to occur during the work process. . In addition, it frees the designer from the troublesome work of making corrections to a drawing that has already been drawn, and it also speeds up the work when a large number of similar drawings are required. There is an effect that it can be done.
