Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be illustrated and described with reference to the drawings.

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

[0017] In this embodiment, the design object is a fitting (for example, a door) as building equipment. Note that the design object is not limited to fittings, and may be, for example, equipment other than fittings, a building, or something other than a building.

[0018] In this embodiment, the design document 1 targets a plurality of design objects and includes a plurality of content groups, but is not limited thereto. In the illustrated example, 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 designated according to the customer's requirements and the like for the object to be designed include not only item A and item B but also other items such as item C, but a configuration that does not include such other items may also be adopted. Further, 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 a configuration that does not include such other items may also be adopted.

[0020] In this embodiment, item A included in each of the first specified information 2 and the second specified information 3 is an item for specifying a finishing material, but the object specified by item A is not limited to the finishing material. Further, in this embodiment, item B included in each of the first specified information 2 and the second specified information 3 is an item for specifying sound insulation, but the object specified by item B is not limited to sound insulation. Further, in this embodiment, item P included in each of the first specified information 2 and the second specified information 3 is an item for specifying a frame shape, but the object specified by item P is not limited to the frame shape.

[0021] In this embodiment, the number of assumed contents of item A included in the first specified information 2 is two (contents p1 and p2), but it is not limited thereto and may be one or three or more. Further, in this embodiment, the number of contents of item P included in the first specified information 2 is two (contents p1 and p2) corresponding to the number of assumed contents of item A.

[0022] In this embodiment, the number of assumed contents of item B included in the second specified information 3 is two (contents p3 and p4), but it is not limited thereto and may be one or three or more. Further, in this embodiment, the number of contents of item P included in the second specified information 3 is two (contents p3 and p4) corresponding to the number of assumed contents of item B.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 2, the assumed content of item A included in the first specified information 2 includes content a1 and content a2. Content a1 is the finishing material 1 (e.g., film), and content a2 is the finishing material 2 (e.g., stone). The content of item P included in the first specified information 2 includes content p1 and content p2. Content p1 is the frame shape 1 as the overwriting content, and content p2 is the frame shape 2 as the overwriting content. As shown in FIG. 3, the assumed content of item B included in the second specified information 3 includes content b1 and content b2. Content b1 is sound insulation property 1 (e.g., having sound insulation property), and content b2 is sound insulation property 2 (e.g., having no sound insulation property). The content of item P included in the second specified information 3 includes content p3 and content p4. Content p3 is the frame shape 3 as the overwriting content, and content p4 has no overwriting content (no overwriting).

[0024] The first specified information 2 includes the assumed content of item A and the overwriting 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 items B and C with respect to the content group in which the content of items A, B, and C in the design document 1 is specified. The first specified information 2 includes content q1 and content q2 as the content of item Q corresponding to the assumed content of item A. Content q1 and content q2 have no overwriting content, but are not limited thereto. For example, content q1 and content q2 may have overwriting content.

[0025] The second specified information 3 includes the assumed content of item B and the overwriting content of item P corresponding to the 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 with respect to the content group in which the content of items A, B, and C in the design document 1 is specified. The second specified information 3 includes content q3 and content q4 as the content of item Q corresponding to the assumed content of item B. Content q3 and content q4 have no overwriting content, but are not limited thereto. For example, content q3 and content q4 may have overwriting content.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 4, in the overwrite order setting procedure S2, the overwrite order is set to either the overwrite order setting pattern 1 or the overwrite order setting pattern 2. The overwrite order setting pattern 1 performs overwrites in the order of the first specified information 2 and the second specified information 3. The overwrite order setting pattern 2 performs overwrites in the order of the second specified information 3 and the first specified information 2.

[0027] In the specified information overwrite procedure S5, overwrites are performed on the design document 1 shown in FIG. 1 in the overwrite order set, using the first specified information 2 and the second specified information 3. The overwrites by the first specified information 2 are performed sequentially from target 1, and among targets 1 to 6, the actual overwrites of item P are performed on targets 1 to 4 where content a1 and content a2 are specified for item A. The overwrites by the second specified information 3 are performed sequentially from target 1, and among targets 1 to 6, the actual overwrites of item P are performed on targets 1 to 2 where content b1 is specified for item B. At this time, for targets 3 to 6 where content b2 is specified for item B, since the content of item P corresponding to the case where the content of item B in the second specified information 3 is content b2 is the content that is not overwritten, the overwrite of item P is not performed. By performing overwrites on the design document 1 shown in FIG. 1 using the first specified information 2 and the second specified information 3, the design document 1 can be created.

[0028] The design document 1 created by the overwrite has different contents depending on the overwrite order. When overwriting with the overwrite order setting pattern 1, the design document 1 after the overwrite is as shown in FIG. 7, and when overwriting with the overwrite order setting pattern 2, the design document 1 after the overwrite is as shown in FIG. 8. As shown by the circles in FIGS. 7 to 8, depending on the overwrite order, the content of item P after the overwrite changes in targets 1 to 2.

[0029] Depending on the preconditions of the object to be designed (e.g., the area where the object to be designed is installed), the importance (priority) of the first specified information 2 and the second specified information 3 may be different. For example, when the area where the fixture as the object to be designed is installed is the entrance, the first specified information 2 regarding the finishing material that affects the design is more important than the second specified information 3 regarding sound insulation. Also, when the area where the fixture as the object to be designed is installed is the warehouse, the second specified information 3 regarding sound insulation is more important than the first specified information 2 regarding the finishing material that affects the design. The overwritten content is more likely to be reflected in the final design document 1 as the order of overwriting is later. Therefore, by setting the overwriting order according to different importance levels according to the preconditions, a suitable design document 1 can be created with a simple operation of only setting the overwriting order for various preconditions.

[0030] Therefore, according to the above configuration, excellent design efficiency can be achieved when the content of the designated items in the design document 1 is the same object to be designed but the content of the design items is different under different preconditions.

[0031] The design method of this embodiment has a reference information preparation procedure S3 (see FIG. 6) for preparing reference information 4 (see FIG. 5) including the assumed combinations of the contents of items A and B and the overwritten contents of item P according to the combinations of the contents of items A and B for the content group specified for the contents of items A and B in the design document 1, and a reference information overwriting procedure S4 (see FIG. 6) for overwriting the content group specified for the contents of items A and B in the design document 1 with the reference information 4. The overwriting by the specified information overwriting procedure S5 is performed after the overwriting by the reference information overwriting procedure S4.

[0032] When there exists information that a certain content group determined by a predetermined combination of the contents of the designated items has been designed in the past as a result of a predetermined combination of the contents of the design items, etc., if one or more such content groups are used as reference information 4 and the above reference information overwriting procedure S4 is performed, unnecessary design work can be reduced, and a high-quality design that is also consistent with past results can be achieved. 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 it is not limited to this, and it may be performed before the reference information overwriting procedure S4. Also, in the illustrated example, the reference information overwriting procedure S4 is configured to be performed after the designated information creation procedure S1 and the overwriting order setting procedure S2, but it is not limited to this, and for example, it may be configured to be performed before the designated information creation procedure S1 and the overwriting order setting procedure S2.

[0033] The design method of the present embodiment has a reference information addition procedure S6 (see FIG. 6) for adding the content group overwritten by the designated information overwriting procedure S5 in the design document 1 to the reference information 4. According to the above configuration, the newly designed content group can be accumulated in the reference information 4 as new design results.

[0034] The reference information addition procedure S6 may be configured to add the content group to the reference information 4 in association with price information. According to the above configuration, since the price information can also be overwritten on the design document 1 at the time of overwriting in the reference information overwriting procedure S4, an estimate corresponding to the created design document 1 can be easily created.

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

[0036] The design method of this embodiment is performed using a design system having a computer and a design program. The design program is a design program for creating a design document 1 including a content group which is a combination of the contents of various items including item A and item B as specified items and item P as a design item for the object to be designed. The computer is made to execute a first specified information creation procedure, a second specified information creation procedure, an overwrite order setting procedure S2, a specified 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 by the specified information overwrite procedure S5 is performed after the overwrite by the reference information overwrite procedure S4. The design program operates software such as an arbitrary application or app, for example. In this embodiment, in the first specified information creation procedure, the first specified information 2 is created by a person inputting the overwrite content of item P using the design program. In the second specified information creation procedure, the second specified information 3 is created by a person inputting the overwrite content of item P using the design program. In the overwrite order setting procedure S2, the overwrite order is set by a person inputting the overwrite order using the design program. Note that the design method of this embodiment is not limited to the configuration 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 variously modified without departing from the gist of the present invention.
