An example of the first embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the object editing apparatus 1.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the object editing apparatus 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11 as a drawing unit, an adding unit, and a generation unit, an input unit 12 as an instruction unit, a display unit 13 as a display unit, The communication unit 14, the printing unit 15, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 16, and a storage unit 17 are configured, and each unit is connected via a bus 18.

The CPU 11 expands a program designated from the system program and various application programs stored in the storage unit 17 in the RAM 16 and executes various processes in cooperation with the program expanded in the RAM 16.

The CPU 11 draws a leader line on the object instructed by the user via the input unit 12 in cooperation with the first program, and adds a serial number in association with the drawn leader line. Generate a description table containing serial numbers.
The leader line is a line drawn from an object designated by the user via the input unit 12. The serial number is the number of the object added in association with the leader line. The description table is a table showing object information including serial numbers. The description table includes explanatory text information in addition to the serial number. The description text information is information for explaining the object.

Further, the CPU 11 rearranges the serial numbers based on the position where the object is instructed via the input unit 12 and equally divides the range information indicating the display range of the serial numbers by the number of the serial numbers. Further, the center of each range is set as the display position of serial numbers, and the serial numbers are displayed at the display positions in the rearranged order.
The position where the object is designated is a position where the object is designated (clicked) by the user via the input unit 12, and corresponds to a start point X coordinate and a start point Y coordinate which will be described later.
Rearranging the serial numbers based on the position where the object is designated means rearranging the serial numbers in order from the coordinate value of the starting point Y coordinate.
The range information indicates a range in which the serial number is displayed on the display unit 13. The range information corresponds to a later-described Y coordinate range: end point range end Y coordinate-end point range start Y coordinate.
Dividing the range information equally means performing a calculation for equally dividing (dividing) the range information (Y coordinate range) by the number of records in the table. The number of records in the table refers to the number of records stored in the table data management unit 162 and corresponds to the number of consecutive numbers.
The display position of the serial number is a position for displaying the serial number on the display screen of the display unit 13 and corresponds to an end point X coordinate and an end point Y coordinate to be described later.
Displaying serial numbers at the display position in the rearranged order means, for example, that the serial numbers are rearranged in the order of serial number “1”, serial number “3”, and serial number “2” and set. When the end point X coordinate and the end point Y coordinate of the position are “400, 70”, “400, 190”, “400, 310”, respectively, the serial numbers “1”, “400, 190” are added to “400, 70”. , The serial number “3” and “400, 310” are displayed with the serial number “2”, respectively.

Next, the first process showing the operation from the initial state to the state 7 described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 19 will be described with reference to FIG.

  For example, when the execution instruction of the first process is input through the input unit 12 as a trigger, the first program is read out from the storage unit 17 and appropriately expanded in the RAM 16 and the CPU 11 cooperates with the first process. Processing is executed.

First, an event waiting state is waited for an event input from the user (step S11). The event waiting state refers to a state in which input of an instruction to execute an mouse click event process on an object, an explanatory sentence event process, a setting Y coordinate change process, or an explanation giving mode OUT event process is awaited.
In step S11, when the user receives an instruction to execute the mouse click event process on the object via the input unit 12, the mouse click event process on the object is executed (step S12). The instruction to execute the mouse click event process on the object corresponds to the click input in steps S21, S22, and S25 of the operation input receiving process described later.
In step S11, when an instruction to execute the explanatory sentence event process is received through the input unit 12 by the user, the explanatory sentence event process is executed (step S13). The instruction to execute the explanatory sentence event process corresponds to input of explanatory sentence information in steps S23, S24, and S26 of an operation input receiving process described later.
In step S11, when the execution instruction for the setting Y coordinate changing process is received by the user via the input unit 12, the setting Y coordinate changing process is executed (step S14). The execution instruction for the setting Y coordinate change process corresponds to an input for changing the end point range end Y coordinate in step S27 of the operation input receiving process described later.
In step S11, when an instruction to execute the explanation giving mode OUT event process is input via the input unit 12 in step S11, the explanation giving mode OUT event process is executed (step S15). In this case, an event process for transitioning from the “explaining mode” described in FIG. 3 to the “normal mode” is executed. After execution of step S15, the first process is terminated.

Next, a user operation procedure will be described with reference to FIG. The user operation procedure shown in FIG. 21 is performed when the user performs an object mouse click event process, an explanatory text input process, or a set Y coordinate change event process from the event waiting state in step S11 of the first process. 12 is a diagram showing a procedure for operating 12. In the following description, the user operation is started from the initial state described with reference to FIGS.
First, the click input of the object number 1 is operated (step S21). Specifically, click input of A point is performed. When the click input of the object number 1 is performed, the object mouse click event process (step S12 of the first process) corresponding to the click input of the object number 1 is executed. When the mouse click event process on the object corresponding to the click input of the object number 1 is executed, the first process shifts to the event waiting state in step S11. In this case, the initial state (FIGS. 4 and 5) is changed to the state 1 (FIGS. 6 and 7).

  After execution of step S21, the click input of the object number 2 is operated (step S22). Specifically, click input of B point is performed. When the click input of the object number 2 is performed, the object mouse click event process (step S12 of the first process) corresponding to the click input of the object number 2 is executed. When the mouse click event process on the object corresponding to the click input of the object number 2 is executed, the first process shifts to the event waiting state in step S11. In this case, the state 1 (FIGS. 6 and 7) is changed to the state 2 (FIGS. 8 and 9).

  After execution of step S22, an explanatory note for object number 1 is input (step S23). Specifically, the description text information “screen” corresponding to the object number 1 is input. When the description of the object number 1 is input, the description event process (step S13 of the first process) corresponding to the input of the description of the object number 1 is executed. When the explanatory text event process corresponding to the input of the explanatory text of the object number 1 is executed, the first process shifts to the event waiting state in step S11. In this case, the state 2 (FIGS. 8 and 9) is changed to the state 3 (FIGS. 10 and 11).

  After execution of step S23, an explanatory text for object number 2 is input (step S24). Specifically, the description text information “main body” corresponding to the object number 2 is input. When the description of the object number 2 is input, the description event process (step S13 of the first process) corresponding to the input of the description of the object number 2 is executed. When the explanatory text event process corresponding to the input of the explanatory text of the object number 2 is executed, the first process shifts to the event waiting state in step S11. In this case, the state 3 (FIGS. 10 and 11) is changed to the state 4 (FIGS. 12 and 13).

After execution of step S24, a click input of object number 3 is performed (step S25). Specifically, click input of C point is performed. When the click input of the object number 3 is accepted, the object mouse click event process (step S12 of the first process) corresponding to the click input of the object number 3 is executed. When the mouse click event process on the object corresponding to the click input of the object number 3 is executed, the first process shifts to the event waiting state in step S11.
In this case, the state 4 (FIGS. 12 and 13) is transitioned to the state 5 (FIGS. 14 and 15).

  After execution of step S25, an explanatory text for object number 3 is input (step S26). Specifically, the description text information “FD device” corresponding to the object number 3 is input. When the description of the object number 3 is input, the description event process (step S13 of the first process) corresponding to the input of the description of the object number 3 is executed. When the explanatory text event process corresponding to the input of the explanatory text of the object number 3 is executed, the first process shifts to the event waiting state in step S11. In this case, the state 5 (FIGS. 14 and 15) is transitioned to the state 6 (FIGS. 16 and 17).

  After execution of step S26, change input of the end point range end Y coordinate is performed (step S27). When the change input of the end point range end Y coordinate is performed, the setting Y coordinate change process (step S14 of the first process) is executed. When the setting Y coordinate change process is executed, the first process shifts to the event waiting state in step S11. In this case, the state 6 (FIGS. 17 and 17) is changed to the state 7 (FIGS. 18 and 19). After the execution of step S27, the user operation procedure ends.

  Next, the on-object mouse click event process executed in step S12 of the first process will be described with reference to FIG. The object mouse click event process is executed when a click input is accepted in steps S21, S22, and S25 of the operation input process. When this process is called, the object number, click X coordinate, and click Y coordinate are passed as arguments. The click X coordinate and the click Y coordinate are coordinate values clicked by the user in steps S21, S22, and S25.

  First, “N = number of records in table” is set (step S31). N indicates the number of records in the description table. Then, a record is added to the table data management unit 162 (step S32). For example, if the click input in step S21 is accepted, N = 1, if the click input in step S22 is accepted, N = 2, and if the click input in step S25 is accepted, N = 3. . After execution of step S32, table data number = N, object number = object number of argument, and explanatory text information = empty information are set in the added record (step S33). For example, when the click input in step S 21 is accepted, the data shown in FIG. 6 is set in the table data management unit 162. When the click input in step S22 is accepted, the data shown in FIG. 8 is set in the table data management unit 162. When the click input in step S25 is accepted, the data shown in FIG. 14 is set in the table data management unit 162.

  After execution of step S33, a record is added to the leader line information management unit 163 (step S34). The start point X coordinate = click X coordinate of the argument, the start point Y coordinate = click Y coordinate of the argument, and the end point X coordinate = end point X coordinate of the leader basic information management unit 164 are set in the leader line information management unit 163. (Step S35). For example, when the click input in step S21 is accepted, as shown in FIG. 6, the leader line information management unit 163 has the start point X coordinate = “200”, the start point Y coordinate = “150”, and the end point Y coordinate. = "400" is set. When the click input in step S22 is accepted, as shown in FIG. 8, the leader line information management unit 163 has the start point X coordinate = “310”, the start point Y coordinate = “250”, and the end point Y coordinate. = "400" is set. When the click input in step S25 is accepted, as shown in FIG. 14, the leader line information management unit 163 stores the start point X coordinate = “300”, the start point Y coordinate = “215”, and the end point Y coordinate. = "400" is set.

  After execution of step S35, leader line end point determination processing is executed (step S36). The leader line end point determination process will be described later. Then, a table coordinate determination process is executed (step S37). The table coordinate determination process will be described later. Then, the data of the table data management unit 162 is drawn (step S38). After execution of step S38, the data of the leader line information management unit 163 is drawn (step S39). For example, when the click input in step S21 is accepted, the display screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 13 by executing steps S38 and S39. When the click input in step S22 is accepted, the display screen shown in FIG. When the click input in step S25 is accepted, the display screen shown in FIG. After executing step S39, the mouse click process on the object is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S11 of the first process.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 23, the leader line end point determination process executed in step S36 of the object mouse click event process will be described. Hereinafter, the leader end point determination process executed when the click input in step S25 of the operation input reception process is accepted will be described. When this leader line end point determination process is called, N = number of records in the table is passed as an argument.

  First, the record groups of the leader line information management unit 163 are rearranged in ascending order of the start Y coordinate (step S41). At this time, as shown in FIG. 14, the start Y coordinate “150” corresponding to the table data number 1 in the leader line information management unit 163, the start Y coordinate “250” corresponding to the table data number 2, and the table data number 3 are supported. The starting Y coordinate is “215”. In this case, the start Y coordinates are rearranged in ascending order of the coordinate values of the start Y coordinates. That is, the data group corresponding to the table data number 1 of the leader line information management unit 163 is the first data (C = 0) of the loop counter C, and the data group corresponding to the table data number 2 is 3 of the loop counter C. The data group corresponding to the second data (C = 2) and the table data number 3 is rearranged with the second data (C = 1) of the loop counter C.

  After the execution of step S41, SYS = the end point range start Y coordinate of the leader line basic information management unit 164 and SYE = the end point range end Y coordinate of the leader line basic information management unit 164 are set (step S42). Then, calculation of the Y coordinate range: SR = SYE-SYS is executed (step S43). That is, calculation of SR = end point range end Y coordinate of the leader line basic information management unit 164−end point range start Y coordinate of the leader line basic information management unit 164 is executed.

  Then, the calculation for dividing the Y coordinate range by the number of records in the table: SDR = SR / N is executed (step S44). Then, the loop counter is initialized (loop counter C = 0 is set) (step S45). Then, a calculation for determining the C (C = 0, 1, 2) -th end point Y coordinate rearranged in step S41 is executed: Yc = SYS + SDR / 2 + SDR * C (step S46). Here, an example of calculating the end point Y coordinate corresponding to each object when the click input in step S25 is accepted will be described. For example, the parameters of the equation corresponding to the table data number 1 of the leader line information management unit 163 shown in FIG. 14 are SYS = 10, SDR = 120, and C = 0. In this case, when the calculation in step S46 is executed, Yc = 70. Further, the parameters of the formula corresponding to the table data number 2 are SYS = 10, SDR = 120, and C = 2. In this case, Yc = 310. Each parameter of the formula corresponding to the table data number 3 is SYS = 10, SDR = 120, and C = 1. In this case, Yc = 190.

  After step S46 is executed, C = C + 1 is executed (step S47). Then, it is determined whether or not N> C (step S48). If N> C (step S46; True), the process proceeds to step S44. If N> C is not satisfied (step S46; False), the calculated end point Y coordinate is set in all the records of the leader line information management unit 163 (step S49). After execution of step S49, the leader line end point determination process is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S37 of the object mouse click event process.

  Next, the table coordinate determination process executed in step S37 of the object mouse click event process will be described with reference to FIG. After execution of step S36 of the mouse click event process on the object, the upper left X coordinate of the description table = the end point X coordinate + offset value of the leader basic information management unit 164, the upper left Y coordinate of the description table = leader basic information management unit The end point range start Y coordinate of 164 + the offset value is set (step S51). Here, the offset value is a predetermined arbitrary value. For example, when the click input in step S21 is accepted, the table coordinates of the description table are determined by this step, and the description table 62 is displayed at the position shown in FIG. After execution of step S51, the table coordinate determination process is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S38 of the object mouse click event process.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 25, the explanatory note event process executed in step S13 of the first process will be described. The explanatory note event process is a process executed after the explanatory sentence information is input in steps S23, S24, and S26 of the operation input process.

  First, the explanatory text information is set in the explanatory text information of the table data management unit 162 (step S61). Then, the set explanatory text information is drawn (step S62). For example, when the explanatory text input in step S23 is accepted, the display screen shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the display unit 13 by executing step S62. When the explanatory text input in step S24 is accepted, the display screen shown in FIG. When the explanatory text input in step S26 is accepted, the display screen shown in FIG. After execution of step S62, the explanatory note event process is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S11 of the first process.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 26, the setting Y coordinate change process executed in step S14 of the first process will be described. The setting Y coordinate change process is a process that is executed after the change input of the end point range end Y coordinate is accepted in step S27 of the operation input process. When this process is called, the changed end point range end Y coordinate input in step S27 is passed as an argument.

  First, N = the number of records in the table is set (step S71). Then, the end point range end Y coordinate is set in the leader line basic information management unit 164 (step S72). Specifically, the end point range end Y coordinate passed as an argument is set. Then, a leader line end point determination process is executed (step S73). This process is the same process as steps S41 to S49 described in FIG. Then, the data of the leader line information management unit 163 is drawn (step S74). After execution of step S74, the setting Y coordinate change process is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S11 of the first process.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, a leader line is drawn on the designated (clicked) object, a serial number is added in association with the drawn leader line, and a description table including the added serial number is generated. To do. Thereby, since the user can automatically generate the leader line, the serial number, and the description table simply by clicking on the object, the work efficiency of the object editing work can be improved.

  In addition, the serial number display range (end point range end Y coordinate-end point range start Y coordinate) is equally divided by the number of records in the table data management unit 162, and the respective equally divided centers are set as the serial number display positions. Then, serial numbers are displayed at the set display positions in the rearranged order. Thereby, since the leader line from each object is automatically displayed on the display unit 13 without overlapping, the user omits the trouble of manually editing the leader line so that the leader line does not overlap. Can do.

  Further, the user can arbitrarily set range information (Y coordinate range) via the input unit 12. Therefore, the user can display a serial number in a desired range.

  In addition, a description table including the input explanatory text information is automatically generated. As a result, the user can reflect each object in the description table simply by inputting the description text information, so that the work of manually reflecting the object description information in the description table can be omitted. it can.

The line 222 indicates the end point X coordinate of the group 2, the line 223 indicates the end point start Y coordinate of the group 2, and the line 224 indicates the end point end Y coordinate of the group 2.

  Next, the state after group integration will be described with reference to FIGS. 31 and 32. FIG. FIG. 31 shows data of the object data section 161, the leader basic information management section 164 of group 2, the table data management section 162 of group 1, and the leader information management section 163 of group 1. As shown in FIG. 31, when group 1 is integrated with group 2, each data of table data management unit 162 of group 1 is integrated with table data management unit 162 of group 2. At this time, the table data number of group 1 is updated to a number subsequent to the last number of table data numbers of group 2 (table data number “3”). Specifically, table data number “1” of group 1 is table data number “4”, table data number “2” of group 1 is table data number “5”, and table data number “3” of group 1 is table. The data number is updated to “6”. The updated table data number is reflected in the display number of the description table 218 and displayed on the display unit 13. That is, the description table 218 including the display numbers 1 to 6 is updated.

  Further, each data of the leader line information management unit 163 of the group 1 is integrated into the leader line information management unit 163 of the group 2. At this time, the end point X coordinate “400” of group 1 is unified with the end point X coordinate “650” of group 2. The end point Y coordinate corresponding to the table data number is a value determined by the leader line end point determination process. In the leader line end point determination process, the same process as that described with reference to FIG. 23 is executed.

  FIG. 32 shows a screen displayed on the display unit 13 based on FIG. Specifically, when group 1 is integrated with group 2, the serial number added to leader line 211 is (4), the serial number added to leader line 212 (5), and the serial number added to leader line 213 is added. Updated to serial number (6). Also, the explanatory text information “screen” corresponding to the serial number (4), (5), (6), the serial number (4), the explanatory text information “main body” corresponding to the serial number (5), and the serial number ( The description table 218 including the explanatory text information “FD device” corresponding to 6) is updated, and the updated description table 218 is displayed on the display unit 13. The serial numbers (1) to (6) are displayed at the end point X coordinate (that is, on the line 222) of the leader line information management unit 163 shown in FIG. Further, each end point Y coordinate of the serial numbers (1) to (6) is displayed at the position of the value determined by the leader line end point determination process.

Next, a second operation before and after group integration described with reference to FIG.
The process will be described. The second process is a process of integrating group 1 into group 2.

  For example, in response to the input of the execution instruction of the second process via the input unit 12 as a trigger, the program read from the storage unit 17 and appropriately expanded in the RAM 16 and the CPU 11 cooperate with the second program. Processing is executed.

  First, an event waiting state is waited for an event input from the user (step S101). The event waiting state refers to a state waiting for an input of an execution instruction for a group integration process or a state waiting for an input of an execution instruction for an explanation giving mode OUT event. For example, when the user receives an instruction to execute the group integration processing through the input unit 12, the group integration processing is executed (step S102). After execution of step S102, the process proceeds to step S101.

  In step S101, when an instruction to execute the explanation giving mode OUT event process is input via the input unit 12 in step S101, the explanation giving mode OUT event process is executed (step S103). After execution of step S103, the second process is terminated.

  Next, the group integration process executed in step S102 of the second process will be described with reference to FIG. When this process is called, the integration destination group number and movement group number are passed as arguments. The integration destination group number means “group 2”. The movement group number means “group 1”.

  First, N1 = the number of records in the table data of the integration destination group number + 1, N2 = the number of records in the table data of the migration group, and COUNT = 1 are set (step S111). The number of records in the table data of the integration destination group number is the number of records “3” in the table data management unit 162 of group 2. Therefore, in this case, N1 = “3” + “1” = 4. The number of records in the table data of the migration group is the number of records “3” in the table data management unit 162 of group 1. Therefore, in this case, N2 = “3”. The COUNT number is a value for counting the number of records in the table data of the migration group.

  After execution of step S111, a record is added to the table data management unit 162 and the leader information management unit 163 of the integration destination group (group 2). Specifically, table data number = N1, object number = object number of COUNT-th table data of movement group, description information = description information of COUNT-th table data of movement group, start point X coordinate = movement group Start point X coordinate of the COUNT-th table data, start point Y coordinate = start point Y coordinate of the COUNT-th table data of the moving group, end point X coordinate = end point X of the leader group basic information management unit 164 of the integration destination group Coordinates are set (step S112). For example, table data number = 4, object number = object number of first table data of group 1 (object number 1), description text information = description text information of first table data of group 1 “screen”, starting point X coordinate = start point X coordinate “200” of the first table data of group 1, start point Y coordinate = start point Y coordinate “150” of the first table data of group 1, end point X coordinate = group 2 The end point X coordinate “650” of the leader basic information management unit 164 is set.

  After execution of step S112, leader line end point determination processing is executed (step S113). The leader line end point determination process is the same process as steps S41 to S49 in the leader line end determination process of the first embodiment. At this time, calculation of the Y coordinate range: SR = SYE-SYS uses SYS = end point range end Y coordinate “630” of group 2 and SYS = end point range end Y coordinate end point range start Y coordinate “210” of group 2. Is calculated. Further, calculation for dividing by the number of records in the Y coordinate range: SDR = SR / N is calculated using N = “6”.

  After execution of step S113, it is determined whether COUNT = N2 or not (step S114). If COUNT = N2 is not satisfied (step S114; False), COUNT = COUNT + 1 and N1 = N1 + 1 are set (step S115). After execution of step S115, the process proceeds to step S112.

  In step S114, when COUNT = N2 (step S114; True), the movement group information is deleted (step S116). Specifically, the information of the leader basic information management unit 164, the table data management unit 162, and the leader information management unit 163 of group 1 shown in FIG. 29 is deleted. After execution of step S116, table coordinate determination processing is executed (step S117). The table coordinate determination process is the same process as step S51 in the table coordinate determination process of the first embodiment.

  After execution of step S117, data is drawn based on each data of the table data management unit 162 (step S118). Then, data is drawn based on the data of the leader line information management unit 163 (step S119). For example, by executing step S118 and step S119, the display screen shown in the right diagram of FIG. After execution of step S119, the event integration process is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S11 of the second process.

  If the change of the set Y coordinate is accepted after the execution of the group integration process in step S102, the set Y coordinate change process is executed as in the first embodiment. In this case, the screen displayed on the display unit 13 changes as shown in FIG. FIG. 35A shows the display screen of the display unit 13 before group integration. FIG. 35B shows the display screen of the display unit 13 after group integration. FIG. 35C shows the display screen of the display unit 13 after the setting Y coordinate change process is executed. The setting Y coordinate change process is performed in the same manner as steps S71 to S74 in the first embodiment.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when group A is integrated into group B, the serial number included in group A is updated to a number subsequent to the final number of the serial number included in group B, and included in group B. The description table is updated to a description table including the updated serial number. As a result, the number following the last number of the group B sequence number is automatically added to the group A sequence number, and the description table is automatically updated. Therefore, the user can update the sequence number and the description table. There is no need to do this manually. Therefore, even when the user wants to integrate the group A into the group B, the work efficiency of the object editing work can be improved.

  In addition, the detailed configuration and detailed operation of the object editing device 1 in the above embodiment can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
