The image data of the layout plan and the recording table, the device data relating the equipment symbol on the layout plan to the input operation data, and the like are stored in the storage device in advance when the system is constructed. An image processing process of a computer fuses input data such as data and outputs the output data to an output device. When editing image data in the image processing apparatus of the above system, the process of displaying each data is first stopped to perform the editing work. After the editing is completed, the process of displaying each data is activated to restart the processing of the updated image data and each data.

[0004]

An image processing apparatus such as a conventional building management system must stop the process of the function of displaying each data when editing an image. Therefore, there is an inconvenience that the function as the management system is stopped during the editing work. Also, because the program is built so that the user cannot change the data of the image display contents, it became necessary to edit the image data such as the layout drawing by changing the model and layout of the equipment equipment in the building, for example. In this case, it is necessary to request the manufacturer of the system to change the image data, which requires time and cost.

Therefore, it is possible to improve the function of the system by concurrently performing image editing without interrupting the operation process of the system, and to easily edit the image data by the user's own operation. There are technical challenges to be resolved to enable swift response to changes.
