Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Supports are used to attach a rain gutter to a building. The support is attached to a predetermined part (attachment part) on the building side while supporting the rain gutter. When performing the construction of attaching a rain gutter using such a support, it may be necessary to determine whether the attachment is possible in terms of the dimensional relationship between the rain gutter and the attachment part. That is, there may be a case where it is desired to determine the compatibility regarding the attachment between the rain gutter and the attachment part. In Cited Document 1, although the required number of downspouts can be obtained, it does not have a function of determining the compatibility regarding the attachment between the rain gutter and the attachment part.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] <Embodiment> [Example of Attachment Mode of Eaves and Ginō] Hereinafter, the design and construction support device of this embodiment will be described. When attaching the eaves and ginō that make up the rain gutter to a building, support tools such as metal fittings are used. The support tool is provided so as to be fixed to a predetermined part on the building side while supporting the eaves and ginō.

[0017] In the following description, the building to which the eaves and ginō are attached may also be described as the "building under construction", and the eaves and ginō to be attached to the building under construction may also be described as the "eaves and ginō under construction".

[0018] First, with reference to FIG. 1, an example of the attachment mode of the eaves and ginō corresponding to the design and construction support device of this embodiment will be described. In the figure, an example is shown in which two systems of eaves and ginō 20 (10 - A, 20 - B) are connected to the drop - off opening 10 (vertical ginō). Each of the eaves 20-A and 20-B is supported by a support tool 30 so as to be given a predetermined gradient. In the example of the figure, the support tool 30 is fixed to the gable of the folded plate roof 40. In this case, the interval (support interval p) for positioning the support tool 30 in the longitudinal direction of the eaves 20 is the interval between adjacent gables of the folded plate roof 40. In the following description, the case where the eaves 20 is attached by the support tool 30 according to the aspect of FIG. 1 will be taken as an example.

[0019] [Regarding the construction support function] The design and construction support device of the present embodiment is used, for example, at the design stage or construction stage of a building, and can present information (support tool related information) calculated and determined regarding the support tool used for attaching the eaves of the construction target to the user in response to an operation in which the user inputs numerical values of predetermined parameters.

[0020] The design and construction support device of the present embodiment may be, for example, a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, etc. The function as the design and construction support device of the present embodiment is realized by installing an application program (design and construction support application) corresponding to construction support. The design and construction support application may be configured, for example, by setting calculation formulas and macros in spreadsheet software, or may be a dedicated application created corresponding to the construction support function of the present embodiment.

[0021] By the operation of the design and construction support application of the present embodiment, the design and construction support device has a building / support tool compatibility determination function and a used support tool determination function.

[0022] The building / support tool compatibility determination function is a function for determining the compatibility between the building to be constructed and the support tool. Specifically, depending on the building / support tool compatibility determination function, it is possible to determine whether or not it is possible to attach the support tool to the attachment target part based on the relationship between the dimensions of the support tool, the dimensions of the part (attachment target part) in the building to be constructed to which the support tool is attached, and the dimensions of the eaves. In this embodiment, a case where a folded-plate roof is used for the roof of a building to be constructed will be taken as an example. In this case, the attachment site on the building is the flat part of the gable in the folded-plate roof. Also, in the following description, a case will be taken as an example where the specifications of the eaves product used for attachment to the building are uniquely determined, and accordingly, the specifications of the support product used for supporting the eaves are also uniquely determined. In this case, the dimensions of the eaves member used for building / support compatibility determination will be determined in advance according to the fact that the specifications of the eaves are single. Also, different predetermined specifications will be determined for each count of the support.

[0023] The support usage determination function is a function that determines the support used for attaching the eaves to the building. Specifically, depending on the support usage determination function, the number of supports used for attaching the eaves to the building can be calculated. In this embodiment, the supports are prepared in multiple types (counts) with dimensions (specification dimensions) determined under different specifications in order to give a gradient to the eaves. Depending on the support usage determination function of this embodiment, the number for each count of the support can be calculated.

[0024] Also, depending on the support usage determination function, it is also possible to perform a determination (gradient setting feasibility determination) as to whether the height difference between both ends (the highest water level and the lowest water level) of the eaves corresponding to the length and gradient of the eaves specified by the user's input can be set according to the count of the prepared supports.

[0025] [Explanation of Sheets of Design / Construction Support Application] When the user operates the design / construction support device to start the design / construction support application, an application screen (operation screen) of the design / construction support application is displayed on the display unit of the design / construction support device. The application screen of the design / construction support application includes a plurality of sheets corresponding to each function, and the sheet to be made active can be selected according to the user's operation.

[0026] The sheets of the design and construction support application include four sheets: a basic information input sheet, a building and fixture compatibility judgment sheet, a judgment sheet for the fixtures to be used, and a fixture information output sheet. The basic information input sheet is a sheet on which an operation of inputting basic information related to the construction of the building to which the eaves gutter is to be attached is performed. The basic information input into the basic information input sheet is included in the fixture information to be used output on the fixture information output sheet. The building and fixture compatibility judgment sheet is a sheet on which an input operation of parameters corresponding to the above-described building and fixture compatibility judgment function and the result of the building and fixture compatibility judgment according to the input parameters are presented. The judgment sheet for the fixtures to be used is a sheet on which an input operation of parameters corresponding to the above-described judgment function for the fixtures to be used and the result of the judgment for the fixtures to be used according to the input parameters are presented. The fixture information output sheet is a sheet on which the fixture information to be used is output. The fixture information to be used is information in which the result of the judgment for the fixtures to be used presented on the judgment sheet for the fixtures to be used is reflected.

[0027] As an operation on these sheets, for example, the user may first be made to perform an operation of inputting basic information into the basic information input sheet.

[0028] Next, the user may perform an operation on the building and fixture compatibility judgment sheet. Depending on the building and fixture compatibility judgment result shown on the building and fixture compatibility judgment sheet according to the operation, the user can confirm whether it is possible to attach fixtures to the gable roof of the building to be constructed.

[0029] When the user confirms that it is possible to fix the fixtures to the gable roof of the building to be constructed as described above, the user may then perform an input operation of parameters on the judgment sheet for the fixtures to be used. On the judgment sheet for the fixtures to be used, the number of fixtures required for attaching the eaves gutter is presented according to the user's parameter input operation. The user can grasp the number of fixtures required for attaching the eaves gutter based on the presented content. The building and support fitting compatibility judgment sheet can be created in multiple copies corresponding to each mounting position of the eaves gutter corresponding to each manhole in the building to be constructed, for example.

[0030] Next, the user may display, on the support fitting information output sheet, the support fitting usage information in which the number of support fittings for each usage support fitting judgment sheet is reflected by operating the support fitting information output sheet. Also, the user can output the support fitting usage information displayed on the support fitting information output sheet in, for example, a file format of a predetermined format.

[0031] First, an example of the form of the basic information input sheet and an example of the operation procedure for the basic information input sheet will be described. FIG. 2 shows an example of the form of the basic information input sheet. On the basic information input sheet, the user can input the destination name, date (year / month / day), property name, business office name, inputter, and management number, etc.

[0032] Next, an example of the form of the building and support fitting compatibility judgment sheet and an example of the operation procedure for the building and support fitting compatibility judgment sheet will be described. FIG. 3 shows an example of one form of the building and support fitting compatibility judgment sheet. The building and support fitting compatibility judgment sheet in the figure includes a product designation area AR1 and a roof dimension input area AR2. The user can arbitrarily select either the product designation area AR1 or the roof dimension input area AR2 and perform an input operation.

[0033] The product designation area AR1 is an area where an operation of designating a product as the folded plate roof is performed when designating the dimensions of the folded plate roof, which is the attachment site of the support fitting. In the product designation area AR1, a manufacturer name and product name input area AR11 and a judgment result area AR12 are arranged.

[0034] The manufacturer name and product name input area AR11 is an area where the user can perform an operation of inputting the manufacturer name and product name of the product as the corrugated roof which is the part to be attached. The manufacturer name and product name input area AR11 includes a manufacturer name input area AR111 and a product name input area AR112.

[0035] The manufacturer name input area AR111 is an area where the manufacturer name of the designated product is input. The product name input area AR112 is an area where the product name of the designated product is input. The manufacturer name input area AR111 and the product name input area AR112 may be enabled to input the manufacturer name and the product name respectively, for example, by an operation of selecting a menu item from a pull-down menu.

[0036] By inputting the manufacturer name and product name (an example of dimension-related information and product-specific information) of the product into the manufacturer name input area AR111 and the product name input area AR112 respectively, the product as the corrugated roof is uniquely identified.

[0037] The determination result area AR12 is an area indicating whether the corrugated roof designated according to the input operation for the manufacturer name and product name input area AR11 can be attached to the support. That is, in the determination result area AR12, whether the dimensional relationship between the designated corrugated roof and the support conforms to the attachment of the support is shown. In FIG. 3, an example is shown in which a display indicating conformity is performed in the determination result area AR12 in response to the input being performed for the manufacturer name and product name input area AR11.

[0038] Although illustration is omitted, when it is determined that the corrugated roof as the product designated by the operation on the manufacturer name and product name input area AR11 does not conform to the support, in the determination result area AR12, a display indicating non-conformity in a predetermined manner is performed.

[0039] FIG. 4 shows an example aspect when an input operation is performed on the roof dimension input area AR2 of the building and support conformity determination sheet.

[0040] The roof dimension input area AR2 is an area where an operation of inputting the dimensions of the folded plate roof, which is the attachment part of the support tool, is performed when specifying the dimensions of the folded plate roof.

[0041] In the roof dimension input area AR2, a dimension value input area AR21 and a determination result area AR22 are arranged. The dimension value input area AR21 is an area where a user performs an operation of inputting the numerical value of the dimension of a predetermined part in the folded plate roof that is the attachment part. In the dimension value input area AR21 shown in the figure, each parameter (an example of dimension-related information) of the numerical values of each dimension (dimension values) of the working width (ridge pitch), height, and shoulder width is set as an input item.

[0042] In the dimension value input area AR21, input boxes BX21-1, BX21-2, and BX21-3 are arranged. The input box BX21-1 is an input box where an operation of inputting the dimension value of the working width is performed. The input box BX21-2 is an input box where an operation of inputting the dimension value of the height is performed. The input box BX21-3 is an input box where an operation of inputting the dimension value of the shoulder width is performed.

[0043] FIG. 5(A) shows each part of the working width Wa, height H, and shoulder width Wb when the folded plate roof is of the hashi type. FIG. 5(B) shows each part of the working width Wa, height H, and shoulder width Wb when the folded plate roof is of the overlapping type.

[0044] As an input operation for the building / support tool compatibility determination sheet, the product designation area AR1 is simple because the user only needs to input the manufacturer name and product name. However, when the product as the folded plate roof of the building under construction is unknown, by actually measuring the working width Wa, height H, and shoulder width Wb of the folded plate roof of the building under construction and inputting the measured values into the dimension value input area AR21, it becomes possible to determine the compatibility between the building and the support tool.

[0045] In FIG. 4, an example is shown where, in response to dimension values being input into each of input boxes BX21-1, BX21-2, and BX21-3 in dimension value input area AR21, a display indicating compliance is performed in determination result area AR22.

[0046] FIG. 6 shows, as an example aspect of a building / support fitting determination sheet, an example where, as a result of input operations being performed on each of input boxes BX21-1, BX21-2, and BX1-3 in dimension value input area AR21, a display for requiring confirmation of the actual object is performed in determination result area AR22. For example, in the building / support fitting determination, a lower limit value of a folded-plate roof that is determined to be compliant with respect to the shoulder width Wb is defined. However, if the shoulder width Wb is within a range (quasi-compliance range) up to a dimension obtained by subtracting a predetermined value from the lower limit value, depending on the actual situation of the folded-plate roof, it may be possible to fix the support. Therefore, when the dimension value of the shoulder width Wb input into dimension value input area AR21 of roof dimension input area AR2 falls within the quasi-compliance range, as shown in FIG. 5, a display for requiring confirmation of the actual object is performed in determination result area AR22.

[0047] As described above, the building / support fitting determination sheet of the present embodiment determines the compatibility (whether a support can be attached to the attachment site) between the attachment site and the support and outputs the determination result in response to receiving a simple operation such as an operation of specifying a product or an operation of inputting a predetermined dimension at the attachment site. That is, by using such a building / support fitting determination sheet, it is possible to easily confirm whether a support can be attached to the attachment site.

[0048] In this embodiment, the dimensions of the eaves member used for the building and support fitting conformity determination are values determined in advance according to the single specification of the eaves. However, when the specification of the eaves is selectable, an area where an operation of inputting predetermined dimensions such as the height and width of the target eaves can be performed may be provided on the building and support fitting conformity determination sheet. Further, the manufacturer name and product name indicating the product as the eaves may be inputtable, and the dimensions such as the height and width of the eaves may be specified from the input manufacturer name and product name. In this case, the input dimensions of the eaves are used for the building and support fitting conformity determination.

[0049] Next, an example of the mode of the use support fitting determination sheet and an example of the user's operation procedure for the use support fitting determination sheet will be described. FIG. 7 shows an example of the mode of the use support fitting determination sheet. One use support fitting determination sheet shown in the figure presents information regarding the use of support fittings corresponding to one drain opening in the structure of the rain gutter provided in the building. In the structure of the rain gutter, one or more predetermined system numbers of eaves are connected to one drain opening. That is, one use support fitting determination sheet can present information regarding the use of support fittings for a predetermined system of eaves connected to one drain opening in the structure of the rain gutter provided in the building. In the explanation of the figure, a case where a rain gutter structure in which a maximum of two eaves are connected to one drain opening is taken as an example.

[0050] In the use support fitting determination sheet of FIG. 7, a construction site designation area AR3 and use support fitting information areas AR4 (AR4-1, AR4-2) are arranged. The construction site designation area AR3 is an area where an operation of designating the construction site corresponding to the target drain opening in the building under construction is performed. The support tool information area AR4 corresponds to each type of eaves gutter connected to the downspout designated by the construction site designation area AR3, and presents information (usage support tool information) regarding the support tools used for the type of eaves gutter corresponding to the user's input operation. The usage support tool information here includes information indicating whether support (attachment) by the support tool is possible for the conditions of the eaves gutter corresponding to the value of the parameter input by the user's operation. Also, the usage support tool information here includes information indicating the number of support tools used for the support of the eaves gutter for each gauge number under the conditions of the eaves gutter that can be attached by the support tool. In the usage support tool determination sheet of the figure, two usage support tool information areas AR4-1 and AR4-2 are pre-arranged in response to a maximum of two types of eaves gutters being connected to one downspout.

[0051] As an operation on the usage support tool determination sheet, the user may first perform an operation on the construction site designation area AR3. The user checks, for example, the position of the downspout corresponding to the type of eaves gutter of the object based on the design drawing of the building under construction. In the construction site designation area AR3, input boxes BX3-1, BX3-2, BX-3, and BX-4 are arranged. In the input box BX3-1, an operation is performed to input the name of the part targeted in the building under construction. In the input box BX3-2, an operation is performed to input the position of the type corresponding to the eaves gutter of the object. In the input box BX-3, an operation is performed to input the position of the downspout corresponding to the eaves gutter of the object. In the input box BX-4, an operation is performed to input, as a parameter, a numerical value for the interval between support members (support interval) in the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter of the object.

[0052] The user performs an operation to input the part name, type, and downspout position corresponding to the confirmed downspout position for each of the input boxes BX3-1, BX3-2, and BX-3. Further, the user performs an operation of inputting a numerical value of the support interval to be set for the eaves into the input box BX3-4. The support interval input to the input box BX3-4 is used for calculating the number of uses for each gauge number presented in the number of support tools used area AR42 in the support tool information area AR4. The number of support tools used area AR42 in the figure corresponds to the case where gauge numbers from "1" to "12" (1st gauge to 12th gauge) are prepared from above water to underwater as the specifications of the support tools.

[0053] In the construction site designation area AR3, a calculation availability prompt area AR31 indicating whether the calculation of the number of support tools used is possible is arranged. An example is shown in the figure where a display indicating that the calculation of the number of support tools used is possible is made in the construction site designation area AR3.

[0054] When at least one of the input boxes BX3-1, BX3-2, BX-3, BX-4 is in an uninput state, the calculation availability prompt area AR31 displays a message indicating that the calculation is not possible. Also, when the numerical value of the support interval input to the input box BX3-4 exceeds a predetermined upper limit value (support interval upper limit value), the calculation availability prompt area AR31 also displays a message indicating that the calculation is not possible.

[0055] Next, the user performs an input operation on the support tool information area AR4 to grasp the number of support tools required for the construction of attaching the target eaves to the building. In the support tool information area AR4, input boxes BX4-1 and BX4-2 for inputting parameters are arranged. An operation of inputting a parameter as the length of the target eaves (eaves length) is performed on the input box BX4-1. An operation of inputting a parameter as the gradient to be set for the target eaves is performed on the input box BX4-2.

[0056] The user inputs the length and gradient of the target eaves into the input boxes BX4-1 and BX4-2 respectively. The attachment feasibility prompt area AR41 displays whether it is possible to attach to the target eaves of the building using a support tool in the case of a combination of the eaves length and gradient entered in the input boxes BX4-1 and BX4-2.

[0057] First, the range of numerical values of the gradient (permissible gradient range) that can be entered in the input box BX4-2 is predetermined. When the numerical value of the gradient entered in the input box BX4-2 is outside the permissible gradient range, as shown in the use support tool information area AR4-1 of Fig. 8, a display indicating that attachment is not possible is made in the attachment feasibility prompt area AR41. Also, in this case, a message MS1 prompting the user to re-enter the value of the gradient parameter so that it is within the permissible gradient range is displayed in the use support tool information area AR4-1. Also, when a display indicating that attachment is not possible is made in the attachment feasibility prompt area AR41 in this way, a display indicating that calculation is not possible is also made in the calculation feasibility prompt area AR31 in the construction site designation area AR3 in conjunction with it.

[0058] Depending on the eaves length and gradient entered in the input boxes BX4-1 and BX4-2, the height difference (water level upper and lower height difference) between the uppermost part and the lowermost part caused by the gradient of the target eaves can be uniquely determined. When the water level upper and lower height difference obtained in this way exceeds a predetermined upper limit value (height difference upper limit value), even if a support tool with specified dimensions for each thread count is used, it is not possible to set the water level upper and lower height difference.

[0059] When the water level upper and lower height difference determined by the combination of the entered eaves length and gradient exceeds the height difference upper limit value, as shown in the use support tool information area AR4-1 of Fig. 9, a display indicating that attachment is not possible is made in the attachment feasibility prompt area AR41. Also, in this case, a message MS2 prompting the user to re-enter the parameters (eaves length, gradient) so that the water level upper and lower height difference is below the height difference upper limit value is displayed in the use support tool information area AR4-1.

[0060] When there is only one row of eaves to be targeted, the user may perform an operation of inputting parameters (eave length, gradient) into either the usage support tool information area AR4-1 or AR4-2. On the contrary, when there are two rows of eaves to be targeted, the user may perform an operation of inputting parameters (eave length, gradient) corresponding to each row of eaves into each of the usage support tool information areas AR4-1 and AR4-2. In this case, the eaves length and gradient for each row may be different.

[0061] When the parameters of two rows of eaves are input, the lowest underwater parts of each of the two rows of eaves are connected to the same drain opening. For this reason, the gauge numbers of the supports attached to the lowest underwater part of each of the two rows of eaves need to be common. However, depending on the relationship between the parameters (eave length, gradient) input for each of the two rows, there may be a case where the gauge numbers of the supports attached to the lowest underwater part of each of the two rows of eaves cannot be set commonly. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 10, in each of the usage support tool information areas AR4-1 and AR4-2, a display indicating that attachment is impossible is performed in the attachment possibility prompt area AR41.

[0062] Also, in this case, in each of the usage support tool information areas AR4-1 and AR4-2, a message MS3 prompting the user to re-enter parameters (eave length, gradient) that can make the gauge numbers of the supports attached to the lowest underwater part of each of the two rows of eaves common is displayed.

[0063] In addition, for example, when parameters are input into each of the usage support tool information areas AR4-1 and AR4-2 corresponding to two rows of eaves, (Condition A) The support interval input in the construction site designation area AR3 is equal to or less than the support interval upper limit value. (Condition B) The vertical and horizontal height difference due to the parameters (eave length, gradient) input into each of the usage support tool information areas AR4-1 and AR4-2 is equal to or less than the height difference upper limit value. The gauge numbers of the supports attached to the lowest positions of the eaves of the two systems are the same (Condition C). When the three conditions are met, as shown in FIG. 7, a display indicating that attachment is possible is performed in each of the attachment possibility presentation areas AR41 of the use support tool information areas AR4-1 and AR4-2.

[0064] Also, in each of the use support tool number areas AR42 of the use support tool information areas AR4-1 and AR4-2, the number for each gauge number of the support tools used for attaching the target eaves and the total of the numbers for each gauge number are shown. Here, when attaching the target eaves, ideally, it is preferably the same number and evenly distributed for each gauge number of the support tools used. However, depending on the length of the eaves and the support interval conditions, the number may not be the same for each gauge number of the support tools used. Also in the example of the figure, in the use support tool information area AR4-1, since the required number of support tools from gauge number 1 to gauge number 5 is 24, 4 can be evenly allocated to each gauge number, and 4 remains as a remainder. Further, in the use support tool information area AR4-2, since the required number of support tools from gauge number 1 to gauge number 5 is 12, 2 can be evenly allocated to each gauge number, and 2 becomes a remainder. In such a case, for example, according to a predetermined rule (support tool number calculation rule), it is added so that the remainder is appropriately allocated to the number of support tools of the upper or lower gauge numbers. Specifically, in the use support tool information area AR4-1, for each of the support tool numbers of the lower gauge numbers 4 and 5, 2 out of the 4 remainders are allocated and added to become 6. Also, in the use support tool information area AR4-1, for each of the support tool numbers of the lower gauge numbers 4 and 5, 1 out of the 2 remainders is allocated and added to become 3. As the number of support tools of the same gauge number increases, the gradient becomes gentler. Therefore, regarding which side, the upper side or the lower side, to add the number of support tools with a remainder, it may be determined in consideration of, for example, which of the following advantages should be prioritized. First, when the fractional part is assigned to the number of underwater supports, the underwater gradient becomes gentle. As a result, during the joining of eaves and drains, joints, etc., construction becomes easier and gaps are less likely to occur, thus suppressing the possibility of water leakage. Also, when the fractional part is assigned to the number of above-water supports, the above-water gradient becomes gentle. Therefore, when joining gutters on the above-water side, ease of construction and difficulty in generating gaps can be achieved. Additionally, by making the above-water gradient gentle, the underwater gradient can be strengthened, for example, improving the water flow around the drain and suppressing the occurrence of mold, moss, etc. around the drain.

[0065] Also, in the additional information area AR43 in each of the usage support tool information areas AR4-1 and AR4-2, the vertical difference between above and below water, the number of yarn counts used (even flow), and the total number of support tools used (number of support tools) corresponding to the type of eaves are presented as additional information.

[0066] Note that when parameters (eave length, gradient) are input into either one of the usage support tool information areas AR4-1 and AR4-2 corresponding to one type of eaves, by satisfying the above conditions A and B, a display similar to FIG. 7 is performed in the usage support tool information area AR4 where the parameters are input.

[0067] As described above, a plurality of usage support tool determination sheets are created corresponding to each construction site, and by the user performing the same operation as above, usage support tool information about the target eaves can be presented.

[0068] The user can confirm the list of usage support tool information presented in the usage support tool determination sheet as described above using the support tool information output sheet. FIG. 11 shows an example form of the support tool information output sheet. The support tool information output sheet includes a header area AR5 and a support tool information area AR6. The header area AR5 presents the basic information about the building to be constructed. The content entered in the basic information input sheet (Figure 2) is reflected in the header area AR5. In the support tool information area AR6, the support tool information to be used based on the content of the created support tool determination sheet is presented. In the figure, each row corresponding to a part name indicates the support tool information corresponding to one support tool determination sheet. In the support tool information area AR6, the number of support tools used for each eaves is shown for each gauge number, and the total number of support tools used for each eaves is also shown. Also, in the support tool information area AR6, the total number for each gauge number of the support tools to be used is shown. Also, in the support tool information area AR6, the total number obtained by further summing up the total number of support tools used for each eaves is also shown.

[0069] An update button BT51 and a file output button BT52 are arranged on the support tool information output sheet. The update button BT51 is a button for which an operation is performed to instruct the update of the content of the support tool information output sheet so that the content after the change is reflected in the support tool information output sheet when the content of the basic information sheet or the support tool determination sheet is changed by an operation. Note that even if the update button BT51 is not operated, the change made to the basic information sheet or the support tool determination sheet may be linked and reflected in the support tool information output sheet. The file output button BT52 is a button for which an operation is performed to instruct to output the content of the support tool information output sheet as a file in a predetermined format.

[0070] [Example of functional configuration of design and construction support device] Referring to FIG. 12, a functional configuration example of the design and construction support device 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. The design and construction support device 100 may be configured as hardware including a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive), and the like. The functions of the design and construction support device 100 shown in the figure are realized by the CPU provided in the design and construction support device 100 executing a program of the design and construction support application.

[0071] The design and construction support device 100 in FIG. 12 includes a user interface unit 101, a control unit 102, and a storage unit 103. The user interface unit 101 is a part including an operation unit and a display unit provided in the design and construction support device 100.

[0072] The control unit 102 executes various controls in the design and construction support device 100. The control unit 102 includes an acquisition unit 121 (an example of a first acquisition unit and a second acquisition unit), a conformity determination unit 122, a calculation unit 123, and an output unit 124.

[0073] The acquisition unit 121 acquires information such as basic information and parameters input in response to an operation performed on a sheet of the design and construction support application.

[0074] The conformity determination unit 122 determines the conformity (whether a support tool can be attached to the attachment site in the building) between the attachment site in the building and the support tool based on the information input in the building - support tool conformity determination sheet.

[0075] Based on the information input into the usage support tool determination sheet (parameter values such as support interval, eaves length, gradient, etc.), the calculation unit 123 calculates the number of each gauge number of the support tool to be used for the eaves under construction. Further, the calculation unit 123 may also determine whether the eaves can be attached by the support tool corresponding to the parameter value input into the usage support tool determination sheet.

[0076] The output unit 124 outputs the determination result by the conformity determination unit 122. The output of the determination result in this case may be performed as a display in the determination result areas AR12 and AR22 in the building / support tool conformity determination sheet. Further, the output unit 124 outputs usage support tool information. The output of the usage support tool information in this case includes display by the support tool information output sheet and output of a file according to the operation of the file output button BT52 in the support tool information output sheet.

[0077] The storage unit 103 stores various types of information related to the design / construction support device 100. The storage unit 103 includes a support tool information storage unit 131, a product information storage unit 132, and a calculation rule storage unit 133.

[0078] The support tool information storage unit 131 stores support tool information. The support tool information includes information on the dimensions for each gauge number of the support tool.

[0079] The product information storage unit 132 stores product information. The product information includes the manufacturer name, product name, dimensions, etc. as the specifications for each product as the roof (folded plate roof) which is the attachment part of the support tool.

[0080] The calculation rule storage unit 133 stores a calculation rule (support tool number calculation rule) used by the calculation unit 123 to calculate the number of each gauge number of the support tool used for attaching the eaves. Such a calculation rule may be information in a table structure showing the specification numbers for each gauge number of the support tool corresponding to each combination of eaves length and gradient, for example. Further, the calculation rule storage unit 133 may store, as calculation rules, the upper limit value of the support interval used by the calculation unit 123 for determining whether calculation is possible, the allowable gradient range used for determining whether attachment is possible, the upper limit value of the height difference, and the like.

[0081] [Example of processing procedure] With reference to the flowchart of FIG. 13, an example of the processing procedure of the design and construction support device 100 corresponding to the operation procedure example performed by the user on the design and construction support application operating on the design and construction support device 100 will be described. Step S100: The user performs an operation of inputting basic information to the basic information input sheet. In the design and construction support device 100, the acquisition unit 121 acquires the input basic information.

[0082] Step S102: Next, the user performs either an input of the manufacturer name and product name to the manufacturer name - product name input area AR11 or an input of the dimensions of the folded - plate roof to the dimension value input area AR21 as an input operation on the building - support fitting conformity determination sheet. In the design and construction support device 100, the acquisition unit 121 acquires the manufacturer name, product name, or the dimensions of the folded - plate roof input by the user, and the conformity determination unit 122 executes a building - support fitting conformity determination based on the acquired information. The output unit 124 displays the determination result in the determination result area AR12 or the determination result area AR22.

[0083] Step S104: Next, the user performs an operation of inputting the construction part (part name, system, position of the drop - off opening) and an operation of inputting the parameters for the use support fitting determination (support interval, eaves length, gradient) to the use support fitting determination sheet. In the design and construction support device 100, the acquisition unit 121 acquires the construction part and the parameters for the use support fitting determination input by the user, and the calculation unit 123 executes a use support fitting determination based on the acquired information. The use support fitting determination includes a calculation - possibility determination, an attachment - possibility determination, and a calculation of the number for each gauge of the support fitting. The output unit 124 displays the result of the calculation feasibility determination in the calculation feasibility presentation area AR31, displays the result of the attachment feasibility determination in the attachment feasibility presentation area AR41, and causes the use support tool information based on the calculation result of the number for each gauge number of the support tool to be displayed in the use support tool number area AR42 and the additional information area AR43.

[0084] Step S106: Next, the user performs an operation to activate the support tool information output sheet. The output unit 124 of the design / construction support apparatus 100 causes the basic information input in the basic information input sheet in step S100 to be displayed in the header area AR5 of the activated support tool information output sheet, and causes the use support tool information obtained in step S104 to be displayed in the support tool information area AR6. Also, in response to the operation of the file output button BT52 arranged on the support tool information output sheet, the output unit 124 executes a process of outputting the display content of the support tool information output sheet as a file in a predetermined format.

[0085] With reference to the sequence diagram of FIG. 14, an example of a processing procedure executed by the design / construction support apparatus 100 of the present embodiment in response to an operation on the building / support tool conformity determination sheet (FIGS. 3, 4, 6) will be described.

[0086] Step S200: The user is made to select either the manufacturer name / product name input area AR11 or the dimension value input area AR21 as an operation target for the input operation on the building / support tool conformity determination sheet. Here, the user selects the manufacturer name / product name input area AR11 as an operation target and performs input operations for the manufacturer name and the product name. The acquisition unit 121 of the design / construction support apparatus 100 acquires the input manufacturer name and product name.

[0087] Step S202: In the design and construction support device 100, the compatibility determination unit 122 acquires the dimensions of the folded plate roof as a product specified by the manufacturer name and product name obtained in step S20. For this purpose, the compatibility determination unit 122 searches the product information storage unit 132 for product information associated with the combination of the manufacturer name and product name obtained in step S200. The compatibility determination unit 122 acquires the dimensions of the folded plate roof as a product included in the retrieved product information.

[0088] Step S204: The compatibility determination unit 122 collates the dimensions of the folded plate roof acquired in step S202 with the dimensions of the support tool indicated by the support tool information stored in the support tool information storage unit 131.

[0089] Step S206: The compatibility determination unit 122 determines the suitability (compatibility) of the attachment of the folded plate roof (attachment site) and the support tool based on the result of the collation in step S204. For example, the compatibility determination unit 122 may determine whether there is compatibility based on whether the dimension of the shoulder width of the folded plate roof is larger than the dimension of the corresponding part of the support tool. Also, the compatibility determination unit 122 may determine whether there is compatibility based on whether the height of the support tool is longer than the length obtained by adding the height H (Fig. 5) of the roof and the dimension of the height of the member as the eaves.

[0090] Step S208: The output unit 124 displays the determination result regarding the compatibility in step S206 in the determination result area AR12 within the product specification area AR1.

[0091] Step S220: Also, as an input operation on the building and support tool compatibility determination sheet, the user selects the dimension value input area AR21 as the operation target and performs an input operation of the dimensions (working width, height, shoulder width) of the folded plate roof. The acquisition unit 121 of the design and construction support device 100 inputs the input dimensions (working width, height, shoulder width) of the folded plate roof as parameters to be used for compatibility determination.

[0092] Step S222: In the design and construction support device 100, the compatibility determination unit 122 collates the dimensions of the folded-plate roof acquired in step S220 with the dimensions of the support tool indicated by the support tool information stored in the support tool information storage unit 131.

[0093] Step S224: Based on the result of the collation in step S222, the compatibility determination unit 122 determines the suitability (compatibility) of the attachment between the folded-plate roof (attachment site) and the support tool.

[0094] Step S226: The output unit 124 displays the determination result regarding the compatibility in step S224 in the determination result area AR22 within the roof dimension input area AR2.

[0095] Next, with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG. 15, an example of the processing procedure executed by the design and construction support device 100 of the present embodiment in response to an operation on the use support tool determination sheet (FIGS. 7 to 10) will be described.

[0096] As input operations on the building and support tool compatibility determination sheet, the user can perform a designation operation of the construction site on the input boxes BX3-1, BX3-2, BX3-3 within the construction site designation area AR3 (step S300), an input operation of the parameter of the support interval on the input box BX-4 within the construction site designation area AR3 (step S304), an input operation of each parameter of the eaves length and gradient on the input boxes BX4-1, BX4-2 in the use support tool information area AR4-1 (step S310), and an input operation of each parameter of the eaves length and gradient on the input boxes BX4-1, BX4-2 in the use support tool information area AR4-2 (step S316).

[0097] When there is one type of eaves gutter system connected to the outlet of the construction site in question, the user may perform an input operation of parameters for any of the usage support tool information areas AR4-1. On the other hand, when there are two types of eaves gutter systems connected to the outlet of the construction site in question, the user may perform an input operation of parameters corresponding to each system for each of the usage support tool information areas AR4-1 and AR4-2. In the following description, the eaves gutter system corresponding to the usage support tool information area AR4-1 may be described as system A, and the eaves gutter system corresponding to the usage support tool information area AR4-2 may be described as system B.

[0098] Step S300: The user performed an operation (construction site designation operation) of inputting the construction site (site name, system, outlet position) to the input boxes BX3-1, BX3-2, and BX3-3 in the construction site designation area AR3.

[0099] Note that in step S300, it is sufficient that an input operation is performed on at least one of the input boxes BX3 (BX3-1, BX3-2, BX3-3). When there is an un-input input box BX3, the output unit 124 may cause a display indicating non-calculability to be made in the calculation availability presentation area AR31. Also, in step S300, the user can perform an input operation to change the information of the input box BX3 for which information has already been input.

[0100] Step S302: In the design and construction support device 100, the acquisition unit 121 acquires the construction site (site name, system, outlet position) input to the input boxes BX3-1, BX3-2, and BX3-3 in step S300. The information on the construction site (site name, system, outlet position) thus acquired is reflected in the support tool information output sheet.

[0101] Step S304: Also, the user performed an operation of inputting a numerical value of the support interval to the input box BX3-4 in the construction site designation area AR3.

[0102] Step S306: In response to the input of the numerical value of the support interval in Step S304, the calculation unit 123 sets the input numerical value of the support interval as a calculation parameter. Then, the calculation unit 123 executes a calculation using the numerical value of the support interval set as the calculation parameter. Specifically, the calculation unit 123 may perform a calculation feasibility determination by comparing the numerical value of the support interval set as the calculation parameter with the upper limit value defined for the support interval. Further, when the length and gradient of the eaves have been input and set as calculation parameters in at least one of the already used support tool information areas AR4-1 and AR4-2, the calculation unit 123 may recalculate the number of support tools used for each yarn count using the length and gradient of the eaves and the support interval.

[0103] Step S308: The output unit 124 performs a display according to the calculation result in Step S306 on the used support tool determination sheet. That is, the output unit 124 causes a display indicating the result of the calculation feasibility determination in Step S306 to be performed in the calculation feasibility presentation area AR31. In addition, the output unit 124 causes a display indicating the result of recalculating the number of support tools used for each yarn count to be performed in the support tool number area AR42.

[0104] Step S310: Also, the user performs an input operation of the numerical values of the eaves length and gradient on the input boxes BX4 (BX4-1, BX4-2) in the used support tool information area AR4-1 for the eaves of system A. In this Step S310, the user may be made to perform an input operation on at least one of the input boxes BX4 (BX4-1, BX4-2), or may perform an input operation to change the numerical value of the already input input box BX4.

[0105] Step S312: In response to the input operation in Step S310, the calculation unit 123 sets the input numerical values of the eaves length and gradient as calculation parameters. Furthermore, the calculation unit 123 uses the eaves length and gradient numerical values set as calculation parameters and the support interval parameter set in step S306 to execute the calculation of the number of support tools to be used. The calculation of the number of support tools to be used here also includes recalculation in response to a change in at least one of the eaves length and gradient. Also, as described in detail with reference to FIG. 7, the calculation unit 123 may perform a process of adding the number assigned from the remainder to the upper or lower thread count when a remainder occurs after equally allocating a number for each thread count to be used. In calculating the number of support tools to be used, the calculation unit 123 may use the support tool number calculation rule stored in the support tool number calculation rule storage unit 133. Also, when calculating the number of support tools to be used, the calculation unit 123 performs an attachment determination based on whether the vertical height difference obtained from the eaves length and gradient set as calculation parameters exceeds the height difference upper limit value.

[0106] Step S314: The output unit 124 performs a display corresponding to the calculation result in step S312 on the support tool determination sheet. That is, the output unit 124 causes the attachment determination result by the calculation unit 123 to be displayed in the attachment determination presentation area AR41 of the support tool information area AR4-1. Also, when an attachment determination result of "attachable" is obtained, the output unit 124 causes the calculation result of the specified number of support tools by the calculation unit 123 to be displayed in the number of support tools area AR42 of the support tool information area AR4-1.

[0107] Step S316: Also, the user performs an input operation of the eaves length and gradient numerical values on the input boxes BX4 (BX4-1, BX4-2) in the support tool information area AR4-2 for the eaves of system B. In this case, the calculation unit 123 and the output unit 124 may execute the same processes as steps S312 and S314 described above corresponding to the support tool information area AR4-2 in steps S318 and S320.

[0108] <Modification Example> Hereinafter, a modification example of the present embodiment will be described. [First Modification Example] The design and construction support device 100 of this embodiment may also be able to determine (evaluate) the water-receiving property of the eaves gutter attached by the support tool. The water-receiving property is the performance related to receiving rainwater flowing down from the roof by the eaves gutter.

[0109] In this case, the calculation unit 123 of the design and construction support device 100 performs, for example, a determination (first determination) as to whether the difference between the height dimension of the support tool as a member and the height dimension of the eaves gutter as a member is within a range of a predetermined water-receiving possible height. Also, a determination (second determination) is made as to whether the distance (length) from the eaves tip of the roof to the protruding dimension of the eaves gutter is equal to or greater than a predetermined water-receiving possible width. Corresponding to the second determination, the storage unit 103 may store the dimension of the eaves tip of the roof and the protruding dimension of the eaves gutter.

[0110] When the calculation unit 123 obtains a determination result that it is within the range of the water-receiving possible height and is equal to or greater than the water-receiving possible width, it may determine that it has the water-receiving property, and when it obtains a determination result that it is outside the range of the water-receiving possible height or less than the water-receiving possible width, it may determine that it does not have the water-receiving property.

[0111] Although not shown in the drawing, the output unit 124 may display information regarding the determination result of the water-receiving property, for example, in the use support tool information area AR4. Also, although not shown in the drawing, the output unit 124 may display information regarding the determination result of the water-receiving property corresponding to the target eaves gutter on the support tool information output sheet.

[0112] [Second Modification Example] The design and construction support device 100 of this embodiment may evaluate the wind pressure resistance performance of the eaves gutter attached by the support tool. In evaluating the wind pressure resistance performance of the eaves gutter, the calculation unit 123 of the design and construction support device 100 calculates, for example, the wind pressure of the eaves gutter according to the wind pressure calculation formula defined by the Building Standards Act, and determines whether the eaves gutter attached by the support tool satisfies the wind pressure resistance performance based on the calculated wind pressure.

[0113] Note that the calculation unit 123 may be configured to change the support interval of the support for the eaves based on the calculated wind pressure of the eaves, for example, so as to enhance the wind resistance performance.

[0114] Although not shown in the figure, the output unit 124 may display information regarding the evaluation result of the wind resistance performance, for example, in the used support information area AR4. Also, although not shown in the figure, the output unit 124 may display information regarding the evaluation result of the wind resistance performance in correspondence with the target eaves on the support information output sheet.

[0115] [Third Modification Example] The design and construction support device 100 of the present embodiment may evaluate the snow load resistance performance of the eaves attached by the support. In evaluating the snow load resistance performance of the eaves, the calculation unit 123 of the design and construction support device 100 calculates the snow load of the eaves according to, for example, the calculation formula defined by the Building Standards Act, and determines whether the snow load resistance performance of the eaves attached by the support is satisfied based on whether the calculated snow load satisfies the conditions defined in the area where the building to be constructed is located.

[0116] Note that the calculation unit 123 may be configured to change the support interval of the support for the eaves based on the calculated snow load of the eaves, for example, so as to enhance the snow load resistance performance.

[0117] Although not shown in the figure, the output unit 124 may display information regarding the evaluation result of the snow load resistance performance, for example, in the used support information area AR4. Also, although not shown in the figure, the output unit 124 may display information regarding the evaluation result of the snow load resistance performance in correspondence with the target eaves on the support information output sheet.

[0118] [Fourth Modification Example] The design and construction support device 100 of the present embodiment may calculate the construction cost of the eaves. In calculating the cost of constructing eaves and gutters, the storage unit 103 of the design and construction support device 100 may store price information indicating the price of eaves and gutter members, the price for each gauge of supports, and wages related to the construction of eaves and gutters. Furthermore, the calculation unit 123 of the design and construction support device 100 may calculate the cost of constructing eaves and gutters by referring to the price information to obtain the cost of eaves and gutters corresponding to the length of the eaves and gutters to be constructed entered in the support tool usage determination sheet, the cost of support tools corresponding to the breakdown of the number of support tools calculated corresponding to the eaves and gutters, and the wages corresponding to the length of the eaves and gutters. Although not shown in the drawings, the output unit 124 may display the calculated cost of constructing eaves and gutters on the support tool usage determination sheet. Also, although not shown in the drawings, the output unit 124 may display the calculated cost of constructing eaves and gutters on the support tool information output sheet. Note that the design and construction support device 100 may be configured to enable the calculation and output of the construction cost of rain gutters including eaves and gutters by including, for example, the price of members corresponding to eaves and gutters, the price of supports for eaves and gutters, and wages for eaves and gutters in the price information.

[0119] [Fifth Modification Example] The calculation unit 123 of the design and construction support device 100 of the present embodiment may calculate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions corresponding to the construction of eaves and gutters.

[0120] In the life cycle of eaves and gutter members from manufacturing to disposal and recycling, CO2 is emitted. Therefore, the eaves and gutters to be constructed for one building have an amount of greenhouse gas emissions such as CO2 corresponding to the number and size of the members constituting the eaves and gutters. Considering such a situation, evaluating the amount of greenhouse gas emissions (e.g., LCCO2 (Life Cycle CO2) emissions) of rain gutters constructed for a building leads to an understanding of the environmental performance of the eaves and gutters (or rain gutters). Therefore, it can be said to be meaningful from the perspective of, for example, global environmental protection.

[0121] In calculating the greenhouse gas emissions corresponding to the construction of the eaves gutter, the storage unit 103 of the design and construction support device 100 may store emission information indicating the greenhouse gas emissions per unit quantity of the eaves gutter members, the greenhouse gas emissions for each gauge number of the supports, and the like. In the design and construction support device 100 of this modified example, the calculation unit 123 refers to the emission information, and obtains the greenhouse gas emissions of the eaves gutter corresponding to the length of the eaves gutter to be constructed input to the support usage determination sheet, and the greenhouse gas emissions corresponding to the breakdown of the number of supports calculated corresponding to the eaves gutter, thereby calculating the greenhouse gas emissions corresponding to the construction of the eaves gutter. The output unit 124 may display the calculated greenhouse gas emissions on the support usage determination sheet. Also, the output unit 124 may display the calculated greenhouse gas emissions on the support information output sheet. Note that the design and construction support device 100 may be configured to be able to calculate and output the greenhouse gas emissions of the rain gutter including the eaves gutter and the vertical gutter by including, for example, the greenhouse gas emissions corresponding to the members as the vertical gutter and the greenhouse gas emissions of the supports for the vertical gutter in the price information.

[0122] [Sixth Modified Example] The calculation unit 123 of the design and construction support device 100 of the present embodiment may calculate the product weight corresponding to the construction of the eaves gutter. The calculated product weight may include the members as the eaves gutter and the supports corresponding to the number of supports calculated corresponding to the eaves gutter. In calculating the product weight, the storage unit 103 of the design and construction support device 100 may store weight information indicating the weight of the members per unit length of the eaves gutter and the weight of the supports for each gauge number. The calculation unit 123 of the design and construction support device 100 refers to the weight information, and obtains the weight of the eaves gutter corresponding to the length of the eaves gutter to be constructed input to the support usage determination sheet, and the weight corresponding to the breakdown of the number of supports calculated corresponding to the eaves gutter, thereby calculating the product weight corresponding to the construction of the eaves gutter. The output unit 124 may display the calculated product weight on the support usage determination sheet. Further, the output unit 124 may display the calculated product weight on the support tool information output sheet. Note that the design and construction support device 100 may be configured to be able to calculate and output the product weight corresponding to the overall construction of the rain gutter including the eaves gutter and the vertical gutter by including, for example, the weight of the member as the eaves gutter, the weight of the support tool for the eaves gutter, etc. in the price information.

[0123] [7th Modification Example] The calculation unit 123 of the design and construction support device 100 of the present embodiment may calculate the quantity of materials corresponding to the construction of the eaves gutter. Here, the quantity of materials may include the member as the eaves gutter and the support tool corresponding to the number of support tools calculated for the eaves gutter. In calculating the quantity of materials, the storage unit 103 of the design and construction support device 100 may store dimension information indicating the dimensions of the member as the eaves gutter and the dimensions of the support tool for each count. The calculation unit 123 of the design and construction support device 100 may calculate the quantity of materials corresponding to the construction of the eaves gutter by referring to the dimension information and obtaining the quantity of materials of the member of the eaves gutter to be used according to the length of the eaves gutter to be constructed input to the support tool usage determination sheet and the quantity of materials corresponding to the number of support tools to be used.

[0124] Furthermore, the calculation unit 123 may calculate the packing size of the materials required for the construction of the eaves gutter using the calculated quantity of materials. In this case, the storage unit 103 may store packing material size information indicating the size of the packing material. The calculation unit 123 may calculate the size of the packing material used for each packing of the eaves gutter and the support tool using the packing material size information, the quantity of materials of the eaves gutter, and the quantity of materials of the support tool. Furthermore, the calculation unit 123 may calculate the number of packing materials required. The output unit 124 may display the calculated size of the packing material and the number of packing materials on the support tool usage determination sheet. Further, the output unit 124 may display the calculated size of the packing material and the number of packing materials on the support tool information output sheet. Note that the design and construction support device 100 may be configured to calculate and output, for example, the number of materials required for the construction of the entire rain gutter including the eaves and the vertical members, the size and quantity of packaging materials, etc., by including in the dimensional information dimensions corresponding to members such as vertical members, dimensions of supports for the vertical members, etc.

[0125] [Eighth Modification Example] In the design and construction support device 100, when the calculation unit 123 determines that it is impossible to attach based on the length and gradient of the eaves input to the input boxes BX4 (BX4-1, BX4-2) of the support usage determination sheet, the calculation unit 123 calculates the length of the eaves, the gradient, and the specification dimensions of the support for which attachment is possible, and the output unit 124 may display the calculated results in a predetermined manner on the support usage determination sheet.

[0126] Furthermore, in the support usage determination sheet and the building - support conformity determination sheet, when there are blank input items among the input items such as roof dimensions, eaves gradient, eaves dimensions (height · width), fitting dimensions, etc. for which no numerical values are input, the calculation unit 123 calculates the numerical values that enable attachment by inputting to the blank input items, and the output unit 124 may cause the calculated numerical values of the input items to be displayed in a predetermined manner in the support usage determination sheet and the building - support conformity determination sheet.

[0127] [Ninth Modification Example] In this embodiment, the form of the roof to which the support is attached is not limited to a folded - plate roof, and may be, for example, a corrugated slate roof, a tile - bar roof, etc. Also, the attachment site on the building side to which the support is attached is not limited to the roof, and may be, for example, the outer wall of the building, etc.

[0128] [Tenth Modification Example] In the above - described embodiment, the conformity determination between the support and the attachment site is performed for the eaves in the rain gutter, but it may be configured to perform the conformity determination between the support and the attachment site for the vertical members in the rain gutter.

[0129] [Eleventh Modification Example] The configuration of this embodiment may be configured by communicably connecting a user terminal and a server on a network (such as a server device or a cloud server). In this case, the user terminal may access the server through a construction management application or a web browser so that an operation screen corresponding to the writing sheet is displayed. The user performs an input operation on the displayed operation screen. The server may execute processes such as determination and calculation similar to those of the design and construction support device 100 of the above embodiment in response to the input operation on the operation screen, and display the executed processing result on the operation screen. In this case, the functions in the control unit 102 and the storage unit 103 in FIG. 12 may be configured to be realized by a plurality of servers distributed on the network.

[0130] Note that a program for realizing the functions of the above-described design and construction support device may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on this recording medium may be read into a computer system and executed to perform the processing as the above-described design and construction support device. Here, "reading and executing the program recorded on the recording medium by the computer system" includes installing the program in the computer system. The "computer system" as used herein shall include hardware such as an OS and peripheral devices. Further, the "computer system" may include a plurality of computer devices connected via a network including communication lines such as the Internet, WAN, LAN, and dedicated lines. Also, the "computer-readable recording medium" refers to a portable medium such as a flexible disk, magneto-optical disk, ROM, CD-ROM, or a storage device such as an HDD or SSD built into the computer system. Thus, the recording medium storing the program may be a non-transitory recording medium such as a CD-ROM. Also, the recording medium includes an internal or external recording medium provided and accessible from a distribution server for distributing the program. The code of the program stored in the recording medium of the distribution server may be different from the code of the program executable on the terminal device. That is, as long as it can be downloaded from the distribution server and installed in a form executable on the terminal device, the form stored in the distribution server does not matter. Note that the program may be divided into a plurality of parts, downloaded at different timings, and then combined on the terminal device, or the distribution servers for distributing the respective divided programs may be different. Further, the "computer-readable recording medium" shall also include a volatile memory (RAM) inside the computer system that becomes a server or a client when a program is transmitted via a network, which holds the program for a certain period of time. Also, the above program may be for realizing a part of the above-described functions. Further, it may be a so-called difference file (difference program) that can realize the above-described functions in combination with a program already recorded in the computer system.
