JP2001043271A - Preparation support system for family line chart - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prepare a lineage chart with which not only the names of respective persons but also faces can be recognized by inputting the data of respective persons described on the lineage chart, arranging the information of respective persons and drawing a connecting line based on required connection data. SOLUTION: First of all, the discriminated data of respective persons described on the lineage chart are inputted and the connection data required for preparing the lineage chart of the family of a concerned person, spouse, children, parents and bothers and sisters or the like are inputted and stored in a filing device. Next, the eldest ancestor on the lineage chart is extracted from persons, for whom the birthday or parents are not inputted, out of the data of respective persons and the writing arrangement of discriminated information such as name 2, birthday 3, date of death 4, place of birth 5 and temple 6 of each person, connecting line drawing 7 of the family line and the writing arrangement of a portrait 8 and a family crest 9 are performed and these name 2, birthday 3, date of death 4, place of birth 5, temple 6, connecting line drawing 7, portrait 8 and family crest 9 are outputted and printed on paper 1 so that the chart can be completed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a family tree creation support system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Up to now, family trees have generally been described with only names from ancestors to offspring, and the face of each person described has not been known from the family tree. So, for example, even if you want to know who your great-grandfather was, the family tree is far from desirable.

[0003]

The problem to be solved is, first, a family tree creation support system that can know not only information such as the name of each person but also the face. Another object of the present invention is to provide a family tree creation support system capable of creating a plurality of family trees.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a method for identifying a name, date of birth, date of death, place of birth, face photograph, family crest, temple, etc. described on a family tree. Within, enter at least the data of each person about the name, date of birth, and face photo and store them in the file device, and create a family tree of the clan such as yourself, spouse, child, parent, sibling Store the necessary connection data in the file device,
After that, the elder ancestor on the family tree is extracted from the data of each person from the person whose date of birth or parent is not input, and the information of each person is extracted based on the connection data. The arrangement, the line drawing of the genealogy, and the arrangement of the face photograph are performed, and the information, the line drawing, and the face photograph are respectively output and printed on paper. Further, in the present invention, the number of the family tree set is plural, and data of each person is input for each of the plurality of family trees and stored in the file device as data files 1 to n.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a system configuration employed to implement a family tree creation support system according to the present invention. First, input the known data of each person, such as name, date of birth, date of birth, place of birth, face photograph, family crest, temple, kaname, etc., described on the family tree and store them in the file device. I do. For the date of death, time or morning or afternoon is used as additional data. Further, the weather, land, background photograph, and the like on the day of death may be added as data. Next, you, your spouse, your children, your parents,
Input connection data necessary for creating a family tree of a clan or the like and store it in a file device. After the storage of the data and connection data of each person described above is completed, the oldest ancestor on the family tree is extracted from the data of each person, from the person whose date of birth or parent is not input, Based on the connection data, the information of each person, that is, name, date of birth, date of death, place of birth, writing arrangement of what is known, temple, etc. , Write and arrange the family crest, and output these names, date of birth, date of death, place of birth, temple, drawing, face photo, and family crest. , The date of death 4, the place of birth 5, the temple 6, and the system delineation 7
, The face photograph 8 and the family crest 9 are printed, and the processing ends. The format of the image file is not specified, and the image captured by the user is based on commercially available image processing software.

FIGS. 3 to 3 illustrate the algorithm of the process of creating a family tree. So, the oldest CCC
Is calculated, extracted and arranged. Then, it is calculated whether or not the person has a spouse. If so, the spouse DDD is arranged and drawn. Then, it is calculated whether the person has a child, and if so, the child EEE is arranged and drawn.
Then, it is calculated whether the spouse has a spouse, and if so, the spouse FFF is arranged and drawn. Then, calculate whether the spouse has a parent, and if so, the parent GG
Place G and draw. Then, calculate whether the person has a brother, and if so, place and draw the brother BBB. Then, it is calculated whether or not the person has a child, and if so, the child AAA is arranged, drawn, and repeated in order. Then, output it, and on paper 1, name 2, date of birth 3, date of death 4, birthplace 5,
A temple 6, a system drawing 7, a face photograph 8, and a family crest 9 are printed. (See FIG. 2) In this way, a family tree is created. The end condition of this algorithm is that all the names of each generation are written and arranged, or the difference between the number of input persons and the number of written persons is determined.

FIG. 4 exemplifies another system configuration in the family tree creation support system of the present invention. The number of family tree sets is plural, and data of each person is input for each of a plurality of family trees and a data file is created. 1, stored in a file device as a data file 2 and a data file 3, and stored for each file. Then, a data file to be created is specified, and a family tree to be created is created by the algorithm described above.

[0008] Regarding the setting and editing of the family tree, a known option dialog is mentioned as a means for customizing the system of the present invention. In this option dialog, settings such as editing, printing, and an external program for image processing can be made. That is, the setting of where to place the name in the face photograph, how to represent the crossing line on the family tree, and the like.
Specifically, the family tree automatically created by the system of the present invention can be moved by a mouse drag and drop operation. For example, in the genealogy algorithm, GG
Since the line connecting G and FFF intersects with the line connecting EEE and BBB, it is possible to eliminate the intersecting line by specifying and moving this FFF with the mouse. (See FIG. 5) In the management of the face photo, a folder for storing the face photo is stored in the file device or each family tree data file in the file device, and the face photo used in the family tree is stored therein. ing. In the system of the present invention, since the data format of the image is not specified, the user can freely manage the image, and this is realized because only the reference to the image is used. The user can freely manage the image size, color adjustment, DPI, and the like using commercially available image processing software. In addition, in the system of the present invention, there is a method of adding a face photograph by referring to a copy of an existing file or taking in an image from a device such as a scanner.

[0009]

A. Effects of the Invention According to the first aspect, it is possible to create a family tree in which not only information such as the name of each person but also the face can be known, and the family can be recognized in detail. B. According to claim 2, a plurality of family trees can be efficiently created.
