DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a component information management device and a component name registration method using the device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in designing a house, a CAD system has been used in order to save design work. In a conventional CAD system for a house, the structure of the house is determined based on various data stored in advance by an operator's instruction, and is output as a drawing such as a floor plan, a perspective view, or a design drawing. ing. Buildings such as houses are individually designed and built based on the intention of the orderer, so each building is basically different from each other, and
In addition to pillars, beams, walls, floors, and other parts that make up the skeleton, exteriors and interiors have almost nothing to do with the structure of the house,
There are a number of parts that are determined by the preferences of the orderer. These many components are managed by a CAD system or the like, and there is a technique described in JP-A-7-129443 as an example of a method for managing such many components. In this technology, a large number of parts that compose a product are classified into a plurality of stages in a pyramid shape, the relationship between each part is converted into identification data, and the products and parts between the stages are managed in a vertically or vertically divided relationship. I have.

[0003]

When registering information of a new part (for example, a part number, a part name, an attribute, etc. of a new part) in an apparatus capable of executing the above-mentioned management method, the part number is generally determined by the apparatus. The information is automatically generated in the order of the registered component information, but other information is manually input by the operator. For example, in the component information of a new component to be registered, the component name is attached so that the user can see what the component is just by looking at the name itself, and the specification attribute of the component is determined from the component name itself. Attached so that you can. Therefore, when registering a component name, the type of component used as the component name and the specification attributes such as the color, size, and quality of the component are almost always arbitrarily manually input by the registration operator. There is a possibility that the registration method of the component information, especially the naming method may change depending on the type of the component information. For this reason, the registered component names become inconsistent, and if another operator attempts to know the desired component information using the component names, the desired component information cannot be obtained accurately.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is a component information management apparatus capable of regularly and easily registering names of components constituting a product having many types of components such as a house. And a method for registering part names.
