Description of the invention (17) 6d Select the replacement or repair of the damage location, and specify the scope or parts of the damage affected by the damage location. In addition, depending on the damage type and damage range of the damage location, the specified sheet metal location and sheet metal area are included. In addition, after the replacement or repair of the damage location is selected, it is possible to choose whether or not to perform the painting operation accompanying the replacement. Then, when painting, you can automatically recognize and specify the painting color, painting range, and painting method of the damage location. Here, based on Figure 19 to Figure 24, the concept of distinguishing each area according to the setting conditions of each sheet metal (each part), and the repair conditions and painting operations of each area will be explained. As shown in FIG. 19, the first discrimination processing is based on the assumption that the sheet metal 30 of the vehicle is set to a distance (e.g., 10 cm) from the edge of the sheet metal 30 to a set line (imaginary line) 3 5. Then, the outer region that is distinguished from the division line 35 is referred to as the outer region 3 0 a, and the inner region is referred to as the inner region 3 0 b. In this case, when the damage is located within the outer area 30a, the paint spraying operation range (50, 50a) is set from the nearest edge of the damage to the sheet metal 30 (see Fig. 20).
