[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, in one embodiment of the present invention, the design method is a design method for creating a design document 1 (see FIGS. 1, 7 to 8) including a content group that is a combination of the contents of various items including items A and B as specified items and item P as a design item for a design object, and the design method includes a first specified information creating step (corresponding to the specified information creating step S1 in FIG. 6) for creating first specified information 2 (see FIG. 2) including the expected content of item A and the overwrite content of item P corresponding to the content in order to overwrite the content of item P according to the content of item A regardless of the content of item B for the content group in which the contents of items A and B in the design document 1 are specified; The method includes a second designated information creating procedure (corresponding to the designated information creating procedure S1 in FIG. 6) for creating second designated information 3 (see FIG. 3) including the expected content of item B and the overwrite content of item P corresponding to said content, in order to overwrite the content of item P in accordance with the content of item B for a content group in which item A is specified, regardless of the content of item A; an overwrite order setting procedure S2 (see FIG. 6) for setting the overwrite order by the first designated information 2 and the second designated information 3 (see FIG. 4); and a designated information overwriting procedure S5 (see FIG. 6) for overwriting (see FIGS. 7-8) by the first designated information 2 and the second designated information 3 in the overwrite order set for the content group in which the contents of items A and B in the design document 1 are specified. The designated information creating procedure S1 consists of the first designated information creating procedure and the second designated information creating procedure, and either the first designated information creating procedure or the second designated information creating procedure may be performed first.

[0017] In this embodiment, the design object is a fixture (e.g., a door) as a facility of a building. Note that the design object is not limited to a fixture, but may be, for example, a facility other than a fixture, a building, or something other than a building.

[0018] In this embodiment, the design document 1 targets multiple design objects and includes multiple content groups, but is not limited to this. In the example shown in the figure, the design document 1 targets at least six design objects (objects 1 to 6) and includes at least six content groups (content groups 1 to 6), but the number of design objects and content groups is not particularly limited and may be, for example, several thousand.

[0019] In this embodiment, the specified items for the design object specified by the customer's request or the like include not only items A and B but also other items such as item C, but the configuration may also be such that these other items are not included. Also, in this embodiment, the design items designed based on the contents of the specified items include not only item P but also other items such as item Q, but the configuration may also be such that these other items are not included.

[0020] In this embodiment, the item A included in each of the first designation information 2 and the second designation information 3 is an item that specifies the finishing material, but the target specified by the item A is not limited to finishing materials. Also in this embodiment, the item B included in each of the first designation information 2 and the second designation information 3 is an item that specifies sound insulation, but the target specified by the item B is not limited to sound insulation. Also in this embodiment, the item P included in each of the first designation information 2 and the second designation information 3 is an item that specifies the frame shape, but the target specified by the item P is not limited to the frame shape.

[0021] In this embodiment, the number of expected contents of term A included in first designation information 2 is two (content p1 and content p2), but is not limited to this and may be one or three or more. Also, in this embodiment, the number of contents of term P included in first designation information 2 is two (content p1 and content p2), which corresponds to the number of expected contents of term A.

[0022] In this embodiment, the number of expected contents of item B included in the second designation information 3 is two (content p3 and content p4), but is not limited to this and may be one or three or more. Also, in this embodiment, the number of contents of item P included in the second designation information 3 is two (content p3 and content p4), which corresponds to the number of expected contents of item B.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 2, the expected content of item A included in first designation information 2 includes content a1 and content a2, where content a1 is finishing material 1 (e.g., film) and content a2 is finishing material 2 (e.g., stone). The content of item P included in first designation information 2 includes content p1 and content p2, where content p1 is frame shape 1 as overwrite content and content p2 is frame shape 2 as overwrite content. As shown in FIG. 3, the expected content of item B included in second designation information 3 includes content b1 and content b2, where content b1 is sound insulation 1 (e.g., with sound insulation) and content b2 is sound insulation 2 (e.g., without sound insulation). The content of item P included in second designation information 3 includes content p3 and content p4, where content p3 is frame shape 3 as overwrite content and content p4 is no overwrite content (no overwrite).

[0024] The first specification information 2 includes the expected content of item A and the overwrite content of item P corresponding to the expected content, in order to overwrite the content of item P according to the content of item A regardless of the content of items B and C for a content group in which the contents of items A, B, and C in the design document 1 are specified. The first specification information 2 includes content q1 and content q2 as the content of item Q corresponding to the expected content of item A, and content q1 and content q2 do not have overwrite content, but is not limited to this, and for example, content q1 and content q2 may have overwrite content.

[0025] The second specification information 3 includes the expected content of item B and the overwrite content of item P corresponding to the expected content, in order to overwrite the content of item P according to the content of item B regardless of the content of items A and C for a content group in which the contents of items A, B, and C in the design document 1 are specified. The second specification information 3 includes content q3 and content q4 as the content of item Q corresponding to the expected content of item B, and content q3 and content q4 do not have overwrite content, but is not limited to this, and for example, content q3 and content q4 may have overwrite content.

[0026] 4, in overwrite order setting procedure S2, the overwrite order is set to either overwrite order setting pattern 1 or overwrite order setting pattern 2. Overwrite order setting pattern 1 overwrites the first designation information 2, then the second designation information 3. Overwrite order setting pattern 2 overwrites the second designation information 3, then the first designation information 2.

[0027] In the designated information overwrite procedure S5, the first designated information 2 and the second designated information 3 are overwritten in the overwrite order set for the design document 1 shown in FIG. 1. The overwrite using the first designated information 2 is performed sequentially starting from target 1, and among targets 1 to 6, targets 1 to 4, for which content a1 and content a2 are specified in item A, are actually overwritten with P items. The overwrite using the second designated information 3 is performed sequentially starting from target 1, and among targets 1 to 6, targets 1 to 2, for which content b1 is specified in item B, are actually overwritten with P items. At this time, for targets 3 to 6, for which content b2 is specified in item B, content p4, which is the content of the P item corresponding to the content b2 of item B in the second designated information 3, is not overwritten, so the P item is not overwritten. The design document 1 shown in FIG. 1 can be created by overwriting the design document 1 using the first designated information 2 and the second designated information 3.

[0028] The content of the design document 1 created by overwriting will differ depending on the order of overwriting. When overwriting with overwrite order setting pattern 1, the overwritten design document 1 will look like Figure 7, and when overwriting with overwrite order setting pattern 2, the overwritten design document 1 will look like Figure 8. As shown by the circles in Figures 7 and 8, the content of the P items after overwriting will change in targets 1 and 2 depending on the order of overwriting.

[0029] The importance (priority) of the first specified information 2 and the second specified information 3 may differ depending on the prerequisites for the design object (for example, the area where the design object will be installed). For example, if the area where the fixtures as the design object will be installed is an entrance, the first specified information 2 regarding the finishing materials that affect the design will be more important than the second specified information 3 regarding sound insulation. Also, if the area where the fixtures as the design object will be installed is a warehouse, the second specified information 3 regarding sound insulation will be more important than the first specified information 2 regarding the finishing materials that affect the design. The later the overwrite order, the more likely the overwrite content is reflected in the final design document 1. For this reason, by setting the overwrite order according to different priorities depending on the prerequisites, appropriate design documents 1 can be created with the simple task of setting the overwrite order for various prerequisites.

[0030] Therefore, with the above configuration, even if the contents of the items specified in the design document 1 are the same for the object to be designed, the contents of the design items may differ under different preconditions, thereby achieving excellent design efficiency.

[0031] The design method of this embodiment includes a reference information preparation procedure S3 (see FIG. 6) for preparing reference information 4 (see FIG. 5) including an expected combination of contents of items A and B and the overwrite contents of item P corresponding to the combination of contents, in order to overwrite the contents of item P according to the combination of contents of items A and B for a content group in which the contents of items A and B in the design document 1 are specified, and a reference information overwrite procedure S4 (see FIG. 6) for overwriting the contents of item A and B in the design document 1 with the reference information 4, and the overwrite by the specified information overwrite procedure S5 is performed after the overwrite by the reference information overwrite procedure S4.

[0032] In cases where a set of content items, in which a predetermined combination of design item content is determined for a predetermined combination of design item content, exists as proven information from past designs, performing the reference information overwriting procedure S4 described above using one or more such content groups as reference information 4 can reduce unnecessary design work and achieve a high-quality design that is consistent with past performance. In the illustrated example, the reference information preparation procedure S3 is configured to be performed immediately before the reference information overwriting procedure S4 (after the overwriting order setting procedure S2), but this is not a limitation and the reference information overwriting procedure S4 may be performed before the reference information overwriting procedure S4. In the illustrated example, the reference information overwriting procedure S4 is configured to be performed after the designation information creation procedure S1 and the overwriting order setting procedure S2, but this is not a limitation and the reference information overwriting procedure S4 may be performed before the designation information creation procedure S1 and the overwriting order setting procedure S2, for example.

[0033] The design method of this embodiment includes a reference information addition step S6 (see FIG. 6) that adds the content group overwritten by the specified information overwriting step S5 in the design document 1 to the reference information 4. According to the above configuration, a newly designed content group can be accumulated in the reference information 4 as new design results.

[0034] The reference information adding procedure S6 may be configured to associate the content group with price information and add it to the reference information 4. According to the above configuration, when overwriting in the reference information overwriting procedure S4, price information can also be overwritten on the design document 1, so that an estimate corresponding to the design document 1 to be created can be easily created.

[0035] The design document 1, the first specified information 2, the second specified information 3 and the reference information 4 each have a tabular format with m rows and n columns (where m and n are any natural numbers), but are not limited to this.

[0036] The design method of this embodiment is performed using a design system including a computer and a design program. The design program creates a design document 1 containing a set of contents, which are combinations of various items, including A and B items as designated items and P items as design items, for a design object. The design program causes the computer to execute a first designated information creation procedure, a second designated information creation procedure, an overwrite order setting procedure S2, a designated information overwrite procedure S5, a reference information preparation procedure S3, a reference information overwrite procedure S4, and a reference information addition procedure S6. The overwrite in the designated information overwrite procedure S5 is performed after the overwrite in the reference information overwrite procedure S4. The design program runs software such as an application or app. In this embodiment, the first designated information creation procedure involves a person using the design program to input the overwrite content of the P item to create first designated information 2. The second designated information creation procedure involves a person using the design program to input the overwrite content of the P item to create second designated information 3. The overwrite order setting procedure S2 involves a person using the design program to input the overwrite order, thereby setting the overwrite order. Note that the design method of this embodiment is not limited to being performed using a computer.

[0037] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the above-described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention.
