BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention determines equipment necessary for an office, such as dividing office meeting rooms and office rooms, and furnishing equipment such as desks and bookcases, and information equipment such as computer terminals and printers. The present invention also relates to an office specification determining apparatus for generating an office layout, an office layout generating apparatus, an office specification determining processing method, an office layout generating processing method, and a program recording medium thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A method of automatically laying out an office using a computer has been used. In a conventional office layout method using a computer, zoning of an entrance area, a meeting area, a work area, etc. is first performed, and necessary / desired meeting rooms are provided.
Based on input information such as the number of furniture and fixtures such as bookcases and reception sets, layout of furniture and fixtures was performed based on the shape and dimensions of desks and the like while taking into account design standards such as spacing between desks.

[0003]

The work in a company or the like is diverse, and each business has its own characteristics. Originally, it is desirable for the office layout to take into account the business characteristics of the office.

[0004] For example, a sales department in which employees frequently communicate with the outside and a short stay in the office is a trading type work style, and a layout suitable for such a work style is desirable. For example, a layout that facilitates contact with the outside and that makes efficient use of the work zone is desirable. On the other hand, research departments, etc., where the proportion of tasks that require concentration are high, use a concentrate-type work style, and a desk layout that can maintain concentration is desirable. The planning department, which has a high percentage of collaborative work, has a project-type work style, and a layout with a high percentage of space for collaborative work is desirable.

As described above, there is a need for a technology capable of providing an optimal office layout based on a work style guided by business characteristics.

[0006] The conventional office layout is based on the number of employees,
Since the layout was determined based on the relationship between the shape and quantity of furniture and fixtures and the floor space of the office, there were not many layouts that considered work styles based on business characteristics. Even when the consideration is taken into account, the layout is based on the experience of the designer, so that the optimality varies depending on the designer.

[0007] At present, there is an increasing demand for information conversion of offices such as LANs. Therefore, a practical layout cannot be performed unless the type and quantity of information equipment according to the business characteristics are taken into consideration. A conventional layout of furniture and fixtures alone is not enough to meet the above demands.

(2) Configuration Example of Standard Specification Determination Means As shown in FIG. 6, the standard specification determination means 20 includes a basic specification determination unit 21, a conference equipment determination unit 22, an information equipment determination unit 23, and a document management determination unit 24. , A deskwork determination unit 25 and a standard specification determination unit 26.

The basic specification judging section 21 refers to the basic specification table 51 as shown in FIG.
The basic specifications for No. 2 are determined.

The basic specification is a definition of an outline specification for each work style for various elements required for an office layout. In the example shown in FIG. 7, as setting items, the arrangement type of the conference zone, the form of the conference room, the form of the network, the form of the information terminal such as the personal computer (PC) equipment, the form of the normal telephone equipment, the form of the server management, the document management Form, desk type, desk layout type, and office zone layout type.

For example, if the work style is determined to be "trading type", the basic specification table 5
1, the following specifications are determined.

Conference zone = Fusion type (non-territorial arrangement): Placed in a zone integrated without separating from non-territorial office zone. Meeting room = Collaborative type (wireless LAN), Prese type (wireless) L
AN), Plasma conference table: The conference room has both collaboration and presentation functions, and a plasma conference table is used. ・ Network = wireless / wired, department-controlled remote access: Club space in the office zone is wireless LAN, Remote access, shared hotelling space is wired LAN
・ PC equipment = personal (mobile type), shared (desktop type): mobile type for individual members, desktop type for shared desks ・ Telephone equipment = wireless: member distribution is on-premises PHS (Personal)
Handyphone System) or CTI (Computer Telepho)
ny Integration), ・ Server management = department centralized type: Centrally manages information such as material databases in departments that are higher in the group, and also connects to the backbone system. ・ Document management = departmental management type: departments for member browsing. Management, ・ Document browsing = browsing, ・ Desk = shared (non-territorial type), personal locker: Individual locker and shared desks are set up for individual members. A shared desk is located in the zone. ・ Work zone = club, shared hotelling, shared studio: Both an open access club type and shared hotelling and studio for independent work are located.

As described above, when the rough basic specifications based on the work style are determined, the conference equipment determination unit 22 and the like refer to the business characteristics B43 as shown in FIG. Judge the specifications. The business characteristic B43 is data acquired from managers and members regarding conference characteristics, information equipment (including telephone equipment), document management, desk work, and the like.

The conference equipment determination unit 22 determines the business characteristic B43
From the conference characteristics data, the ratio of conference rooms installed, the total number of conference rooms, the total number of conference tables, the number of conference tables installed in the office zone and the entrance zone, and the types of conference rooms (Prese type, collaboration type)
Is determined. Specifically, the determination is made as follows.

In the determination of the total number of conference tables and conference rooms, the total number of conference tables and conference rooms = (Σ (β × γ)) ÷ α where (group average value of K1 (meeting frequency, etc.)) = Frequency coefficient α , The number of department groups = β, and the group staff coefficient = γ.

In the determination of the office zone meeting table number, “C1
(Constant) ≤ K2 (meeting frequency with members, etc. per group) ”, the number of office zone meeting tables = Σ (the number of applicable groups x γ) is applied (concentrate type is not applicable).

In the determination of the number of conferences at the entrance zone, "D1 (constant) ≤K3 (frequency of meetings with outsiders, etc.)
The number of entrance zone conference desks = Σ (the number of applicable groups ×
γ).

In the determination of the number of conference rooms of the presentation type, the capacity satisfying the maximum number of persons of K4 (regular meeting frequency or the like) or K5 (frequency of the present type meeting) is defined as E1 (constant) ≦ (K4 or K5 section average) Value), one room is adapted, and E2 (constant) ≤ (K4 or K5 sectoral average value).

In the determination of the number of conference rooms of the collaboration type, one room is adapted by F1 (constant) ≦ (K6 (collaboration type conference frequency etc.) department average value), and F2 (constant) ≦ (K6 department average value) ) Adapt two rooms, and F3 (constant) ≤ (K6 sector average) Adapt three rooms.

In the determination of the number of general conference rooms, a capacity that satisfies the average number of people in K1 is set, and one room is a capacity that satisfies the maximum number of people. General conference room = (conference table + total number of conference rooms) − (work zone conference room + Entrance zone meeting room + Presé meeting room + Collaboration meeting room).

If the calculated value exceeds the “conference table + total number of conference rooms”, the conference zone is set to the fusion type (non-territorial type) regardless of the work style determination.
To

Next, the information equipment determination unit 23 uses the information of the information equipment of the business characteristic B43 and uses the information equipment determination table 52 shown in FIG. Management form, communication equipment such as telephone, etc. are determined.

Specifically, P1 (use system type) and P2 (use application type) of the business characteristic B43
And the server / PC determination table 52- shown in FIG.
1 and the system to be used is a core system or CA
If the system is a graphic system such as D, a workstation is applied. Otherwise, a PC server is applied.
Also, if there is a graphic application, it is determined that a terminal with a large screen is suitable.

Also, individual management or group management of an output device such as a printer or an input device such as a scanner is determined using the peripheral device determination table 52-2 shown in FIG. 9B. For example, for output devices, group management is performed if G1 (constant) ≦ P3 (printer use frequency), and group management is performed if G1 (constant)> P3. Regarding the input device, if G2 (constant) ≤ P4 (scanner use frequency) group average, individual management is performed. If G2 (constant)> P4 group average, group management is performed.

The type of communication equipment such as a telephone is determined using the communication device determination table 52-3 shown in FIG. 9C. If a group average of H1 (constant) ≤ D1 (seating rate) is applied to a predetermined point of communication, the premises PHS type is applied. If a group average of H2 (constant) ≤ D2 (occupancy rate) for business trip, For mobile phones, CTI is introduced if the group average is H3 (constant) ≤ D3 (telephone usage rate). For FAX, group management is performed when H4 (constant) ≦ D4 (FAX utilization rate) group average, and group management is performed when H4 (constant)> D4 group average.

Next, the document management judging section 24 uses the document management measurement data of the business characteristic B43 and the document management judgment table 53 as shown in FIG. 10 to perform group management, department management, archive management, and floor management. Etc. are determined. For example, for slips and forms, data such as the type, confidentiality, and storage period of slips used in daily work are used. For materials, data on the type of materials and the amount of paper-based materials, and for books and magazines, Group management / department management / archive management / floor management and the like are determined based on the amount and the storage period.

Next, the deskwork determination unit 25 uses the data such as the input / output device and the terminal (screen) size determined by the information facility determination unit 23 based on the document management measurement data of the business characteristic B43 and the like. The desk size is determined using the desk work determination table 54 shown in FIG.
For example, the desk size of 1000 mm, 1200 mm, 1400 mm, etc. is determined based on the frequency of working at the desk using paper-based documents such as slips, forms, materials, books, etc., and the frequency of the work of creating documents, etc. Depending on the terminal size, input / output devices, etc.
Or add 00mm.

The standard specification determination section 26 obtains the results determined by the above-described determination sections, and obtains the standard specification 4 which is a more customized specification.
4 is determined. FIG. 12 shows an example of the standard specification 44 of each work style. The upper part of each setting item is a specification defined as a work style, and the lower part of the specification expressed in thick gothic is a part determined by the standard specification determining unit 26.

(3) Layout Creation Means As shown in FIG. 13, the layout creation means 30 includes a module selection unit 31, a zoning determination unit 32, a layout generation unit 33, and a setting change determination unit 34.

The module selecting unit 31 selects each module and part from the module configuration table 61 shown in FIG. 14 and the part configuration table 62 shown in FIG. 15 using the standard specification 44 and the cost variable 45.

There are two cost variables 45, a module configuration and a part configuration, which are pine, bamboo, and plum, respectively. The cost variable of the module indicates the degree of the degree of leeway of the layout adopted as the module, and has a value such that the degree of leeway decreases in the order of pine>bamboo> plum. The cost variables of the parts indicate the grades of the actual equipment constituting the module, and are values such that pine>bamboo> plum becomes cheaper in this order. Here, an example is shown in which three types of pine, bamboo, and plum are used as cost variables, but of course, any number may be used.

More specifically, the standard specification 44 is trading type, the cost variable of the module configuration is pine,
When the cost variable of the part configuration is bamboo, a trading pine module is selected for each of the layout modules such as the desk layout module and the conference table layout module of the module configuration table 61. Similarly, a trading bamboo part configuration is selected from the part configuration table 62 for the configuration of each equipment such as a desk and a conference table.

In the item of the desk arrangement module of the module configuration table 61, the arrangement of the desk and the chair and information on the shape and size of the space necessary for the arrangement are stored for each specification and cost variable. Also, in the item of the desk of the parts configuration table 62, model information (part number, shape, size, etc.) of the desk to be adopted is stored in the same manner. Note that the module configuration table 61 and the part configuration table 62 may be pointer information to module configuration data or part configuration data stored in an external storage device (not shown) instead of the module configuration data itself. .

The zoning judging section 32 inputs the plan view information / organizational structure information 46 and performs zoning judgment using the module selected by the module selecting section 31 while referring to the zoning specification table 63 shown in FIG. . The floor plan information / organization structure information 46 is a floor plan of a place to be laid out, and data of the structure and the number of personnel to be moved into the place. The zoning specification table 63 contains the ergonomically calculated traffic volume / retention frequency of the user in the room, regarding the width of the main flow line and the sub flow line, the space required between the main flow line and the fixed flow line, and the like. Is a standard value determined based on

As a result of the zoning determination, if all the modules can be laid out, the process is passed to the layout generation unit 33, and if the layout using all the modules is not performed, the process is passed to the setting change determination unit 34.

The layout generating unit 33 lays out the input plan view and outputs the office layout 5
Is output. As for a specific processing method of layout generation after the modules and parts are determined, a well-known technique can be used as a floor arrangement problem, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The setting change judging section 34 sets a preset value based on the resetting table 64 shown in FIG.
Reset is performed based on the input change item priority value Z. For resetting, for example, if Z ≦ K1, change information for changing the general conference room to the conference table is generated, and this is notified to the conference equipment determination unit 22 of the standard specification determination unit 20. If K1 <Z ≦ K2, change information for changing the general conference room to the conference table is generated, and change information for reducing the amount of stored documents by 10% is generated. The determination unit 22 and the document management determination unit 24 are notified. For other values of Z, similarly, change information is generated based on the reset table 64, and the corresponding conference equipment determination unit 22, information equipment determination unit 2
3. Document management determination unit 24 or desk work determination unit 25
Notify. The notification is sent to the conference equipment determination unit 22 and the desk work determination unit 25, and each determination unit receives the notification of the change information and performs the determination again. If the zoning determination is not possible even if all of the four items set in the reset table 64 are changed, the processing is stopped.

(4) Application Example Hereinafter, a specific application example will be described using an office layout generation as shown in FIG. 18 as an example. As shown in FIG. 19, the sales headquarters, which is an organization scheduled to move into the target office, has a metropolitan sales department with 85 members and 12
It consists of two departments, the Sales Promotion Department, and the Metropolitan Sales Department consists of five groups, and the Sales Promotion Department consists of one group.

In the business characteristic measuring unit 11, six managers belonging to these two departments and 91 members of the six groups,
The task characteristics are measured from data on the user's own task inputted by an OCR reader or an input device of a hearing sheet or a questionnaire.

FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an input example of the management characteristic of the business characteristic A41, and FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an input example of the communication characteristic of the business characteristic A41. 20 are input mainly by six managers belonging to two departments, and the input data of communication characteristics shown in FIG. 21 are input by 91 members of six groups. As input data, not only the data of the characteristics of the current business but also the data of the characteristics of the business scheduled in the future may be used. Also, as input data, security level information of a department, correlation information of humans / materials, and correlation information of information and equipment may be digitized and used.

The measurement method is to digitize the input data based on predetermined judgment points, and as shown in the upper part of each of FIGS. 22A and 22B, the management characteristic (Management characteristic) and communication characteristic (Communication) of each group. Characteristics) Calculate the average of each.

The work style determination unit 12 determines which of the four work styles shown in FIG. 3 the work style of each group is based on these two measured values for each group. FIG. 22A shows a work style relating to a current task, and FIG. 22B shows a work style relating to a future task. For example, since the sales promotion group has a management characteristic of 2.0p (points) and a communication characteristic of 2.2p, it is determined to be a transaction type as shown in the work style four classification graph shown in FIG. . The determination result of the sales promotion group is represented by a white square in the lower graph of FIG.

Upon receiving the work style determination result, the basic specification determination section 21 determines the basic specifications of each group based on the basic specification table 51 shown in FIG. For example, the sales promotion department group's work style is transactional, so "meeting zone: separate type or integrated island type layout, conference room: present type, network: wired, PC equipment: personal desktop type" etc. Adapts. As a result, the outline of the equipment form of each applicable zone is determined.

FIGS. 23 and 24 show data examples of basic specifications. FIG. 23 shows an example of data on the conference zone and the office zone in the setting items, and FIG. 24 shows an example of data on the desk arrangement. In each setting item, one or more applicable pattern candidates are defined for each work style.

The conference equipment determination unit 22 determines more detailed specifications regarding the conference zone and the conference room using the basic specifications and the business characteristics B43. FIG. 25 shows an example of inputting the conference characteristics of the business characteristic B. Conference equipment determination unit 2
In step 2, the input data is quantified by using predetermined judgment points, and an average point is calculated for each judgment item for each group and each section as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 27, from the calculated average values, the total number of necessary conference rooms and conference tables, the number of conference tables installed in the office zone, the number of conference tables installed in the entrance zone, and the presentation conference The number and capacity of rooms, the number and capacity of collaboration rooms (collaboration conference rooms), and the like are determined, and determination conditions used in subsequent processing are set.

Similarly, the information equipment determination unit 23 determines more detailed specifications regarding network, PC equipment, telephone equipment, and server management.
