DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an office planning apparatus used for evaluating vertical zoning.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Cases in which a relatively large organization such as a company enters a plurality of floors of an office building are often seen. In such a case, the organization usually has many departments such as general affairs, human resources, sales departments, and various manufacturing departments, and the proximity and distant relationships between departments are diversified. is there. For this reason, if the vertical zoning work for allocating each department along the hierarchy of the office building is performed without any consideration, the departments that desire a close relationship are greatly separated from each other on the upper and lower floors of the building, and the communication is performed. Inconvenient situations arise, for example, such that it becomes difficult to obtain the information, or conversely, departments that desire a distant relationship are assigned to the same floor.

Therefore, recent office planning is
There is a tendency to investigate the strength of the relationship between departments and summarize them as a certain value, and to proceed with the rearrangement work while quantitatively grasping the relationship between the departments based on the value.

[0004]

However, the divisions are tied to each other by a complicated causal relationship of close proximity and distantness. Therefore, it is only necessary to pay attention to only two divisions and change the arrangement to a desirable arrangement. Relationship is ignored. For this reason, in order to reach a desired arrangement, a correction operation such as a puzzle that repeats estrangement and proximity is required. However, if such an operation were to be performed only manually using paper and a pencil, it would be extremely difficult to grasp the whole situation, and it would be difficult to find clues for correction. Each time requires a huge amount of rewriting,
Furthermore, the effort and time spent until all the work is completed becomes immeasurable, as it is impossible to know whether or not the relocation is necessary until the rewriting is completed.

An object of the present invention is to provide an office planning apparatus capable of giving an accurate evaluation to such a vertical zoning operation.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following configuration.

That is, in the office planning apparatus according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a department information storage means b, a correlation storage means c, and an array storage means are provided in front of a background screen a displayed on a display. In this embodiment, a front screen f constituted by d and display means e is superimposed and displayed, and the display content of the front screen f can be changed. On the background screen a, a section column h in which a plurality of section display frames g are arranged in a certain direction, and a grid line i rising from each section display frame g in the section column h, between any two section display frames g. And a correlation matrix k that forms a number of rhombic display points j that relate them to the vertices of a triangle whose bottom is considered as the base. On the other hand, a plurality of departments n are stored in the department information storage means b in the form of actual department names or codes corresponding to the departments, and the correlation storage means c corresponds to the proximity set between the departments n. The correlation value p and the correlation value q corresponding to the degree of estrangement are stored in association with the section n, and the array storage means d stores the section information storage means b
An array r for ordering the departments n stored in
A hierarchical division position s set between departments n in order to make the array r correspond to the hierarchy of the office building is stored. The display means e blanks the sections n corresponding to the hierarchical division positions s along the section array r stored in the array storage means d, and sequentially assigns each section n to each section display frame g, thereby displaying the front. A screen f is formed, and the correlation values p and q extracted from the correlation storage means c are converted into identifiers l and m such as predetermined colors, patterns, and gradations on the correlation matrix k. And corresponding department n
A hierarchical zone that is displayed on the diamond-shaped display point j between them and is visible along the oblique side of the triangle viewed as the base between the two nearest display frames g among the blank section display frames g. to form t. And array change operation means o
When the contents of the array storage means d are rewritten due to, for example, the display means e changes the front screen f based on the new arrangement.
Is to be updated.

[0008] In this case, as a specific mode of the hierarchical zone, a different color from the identifier is displayed on a diamond-shaped display point along the hypotenuse.
It is formed by displaying a pattern, gradation, or the like, or masking a grid line existing on the oblique side.

In the above description, the correlation matrix is displayed on the background screen, but the correlation matrix can be displayed on the front screen. In this case, as a specific mode of the hierarchical zone, there is one formed by deleting grid lines existing on the hypotenuse.

In order to further clarify the correspondence between the sections, the section display frame is made pentagonal, and two sides sandwiching the apex of the display frame are brought into close contact with the rhombus display points forming the base of the correlation matrix. It is effective to display the actual department name in each department display frame.

[0011]

In such a configuration, when a certain department array r is given, the more the identifier l indicating the proximity is distributed in the vicinity of the base of the entire correlation matrix k, the more the department array r becomes closer to the department n. And the identifier m indicating the degree of alienation is a correlation matrix k.
The more the distribution is near the whole vertex, the more the department array r
Satisfies the distant relationship between the departments n. For this reason, by focusing on the positions of the identifiers l and m on the correlation matrix k, the current array s can be evaluated, and the next location to be corrected can be estimated. Further, when the contents of the array storage means d are rewritten, the front screen f is updated based on the new array r. Therefore, by focusing on how the distribution of the identifiers l and m has changed before and after the update, it is possible to know whether or not the rearrangement work at that time was appropriate.

By the way, the purpose of such vertical zoning work is to select a department that desires a close relationship.
Are arranged on the same floor, and the departments n that desire a distant relationship are arranged on different floors. In this case, the section display frame g corresponding to the hierarchical section formation position s is blanked, and the hierarchical section formation band t is provided along the oblique side of a triangle having the section display frames g as bases. For this reason, the diamond-shaped display points j belonging to the small triangle u newly appearing below the hierarchical zone t all indicate the correlation between the departments n arranged on the same floor, and above the hierarchical zone t, The diamond-shaped display points j belonging to the area v to be separated all represent the correlation between the departments n arranged on different floors. As a result, the identifier l,
By focusing on how m exists in those small triangles u and regions v, we can see at a glance how much vertical zoning at a certain point in time satisfies the complex correlation of all departments n. Can understand.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 2 shows a microcomputer system H functioning as an office planning device. A memory h1 serving as section information storage means, correlation storage means and array storage means, and a role as display means. And a processor h2 and a keyboard h4 and a mouse h5 serving as arrangement changing operation means and data input means, which will be described later, and an interface for controlling the input and output of the processor h2. -H3. The memory h1 stores a program for operating the processor h2 in accordance with a procedure related to vertical zoning.
A display screen is formed on the CRT display h6 while exchanging data with the device 1. Two types of display screens, an operation screen A and an evaluation screen B, are prepared, and any of the screens A and B is CR depending on the selection of the operator.
It can be called at any time on the T display h6.

In this microcomputer system H, the initial data is stored prior to the vertical zoning operation.
In order to collect the data, a survey sheet S as shown in FIG. 3 is distributed in advance to each department subject to vertical zoning, and Asks for a description of what kind of relationship the department wants with other departments. Here, if you want a close position, "+"
If a distant position is desired, "-" is entered, and if there is no particular problem, the survey is left blank. Then, if the departments want a position close to each other, they have a close proximity relationship (++); if one of the departments wants a near position, they have a single proximity relationship (++); one wants a near position and the other is far Reciprocal relationship (+-) if position is desired,
When one of the departments desires a distant position, a correlation value of a semi-distant relationship (-) is provided, and when one of the departments desires a distant position from each other, a correlation value of a relative distant relationship (-) is given. Also, when conducting such a survey, the required area of each department should be submitted.

After such an investigation is completed, the keyboard h
The data input operation to the memory h1 is performed by using 4 and the like. First, as the department information, the general affairs department involved in the above-mentioned survey,
The department names such as the accounting department and the personnel department are registered, and then the correlation values (++) to (−−) existing between the specific departments and the required area required by each department are input. In addition, before and after these, the first floor of the office building where the organization intends to move in
The usable floor area of each floor up to 6F is also input. At this time, the departments are input in an appropriate arrangement, and the arrangement is made to correspond to the temporary office building floor. As a result of the input operation as described above, in the memory h1, the floors of the office buildings 1F to 6F and their usable floor area are stored in the area corresponding to the property information, and each area is stored in the area corresponding to the department information. The required area of the department is stored in association with the department, the correlation value is stored in the area corresponding to the correlation, and the correlation value is stored in the area corresponding to the array. 6f is stored.

When the above input operation is completed,
Vertical zoning can be started. As described above, the vertical zoning is performed based on the operation screen A for performing the array change operation and the evaluation screen B for performing the array evaluation. First, the operation screen A will be described. Next, the evaluation screen B corresponding to the present invention will be described.

When the operation screen A is selected, the processor h
2 first displays the background screen 1 in FIG. The background screen 1 is formed by dividing a plurality of section display positions 11 into grids 11a at equal intervals in the X-axis direction, and has an area display area 12 at the center in the Y-axis direction, and above and below it. Are provided with a proximity display area 13 and a distant display area 14, respectively. At the center of the area display area 12, a neutral line 12a parallel to the X axis is drawn. In the area display area 12, the usable floor area of each floor 1F to 6F of the office building is set to a predetermined Y.
A pair of upper and lower area lines 14a parallel to the X axis on the coordinates,
14b, 14c, 14d, 14e, and 14f are displayed.

Next, the processor h2 superimposes and displays the front screen 2 on the front of the background screen 1. In the front screen 2, first, the departments stored in the memory h1 are arranged in the array in correspondence with the respective department display positions 11 in the X-axis direction, and the department display corresponding to the currently set hierarchical division position is performed. Between the positions 11, the hierarchical division lines 21a, 21b,
21c, 21d, and 21e are displayed. Then, for the area display area 12, the required area for each section is taken out of the memory h1 for each section display position 11 and converted into various bar graphs 22 of corresponding lengths, and goes up and down the neutral line 12a. Is displayed. The bar graph 22 is colored with a pattern, a pattern, and the like for each section so that they can be distinguished from each other. Bar graph 2 of each section distributed on the same floor
An amount corresponding to the sum of the lengths of the two is a pair of area lines 23a, 23b, 23c, 23 on the upper and lower predetermined Y coordinates of the neutral line 12a.
d and 23e. On the other hand, on the proximity display area 13, correlation lines 24a and 24b corresponding to correlation values of phase proximity (++) and partial proximity (+) taken out from the memory h1.
Are displayed along the X-axis direction between the department display positions 11, and the scatteredness display area 14 corresponds to correlation values of relative distant (−−) and partial distant (−) extracted from the memory h1. Correlation lines 25a and 25b are displayed as a bridge between the department display positions 11 along the X-axis direction. In addition, reciprocal (+
The correlation line 24c corresponding to the correlation value-) is also written on the proximity display area 13.

Thus, the front screen 2 is completed. Then, on the front screen 2 on the operation screen A, the user operates the mouse h5 to select the bar graph 22 representing the section required area of the specific section, and moves the bar graph 22 beyond the hierarchical division lines 21a to 21e (of course). You do not need to exceed)
It can be moved between departments on other floors. At this time, in the area corresponding to the array in the memory h1, the contents of the array are rewritten each time the operation crosses each grid 11a, and in conjunction with this, the proximity display area 13 of the front screen 2 is linked. The upper correlation lines 24a, 24b, 2
4c and the correlation lines 25a, 25 on the alienation display area 14.
Only b is partially updated step by step while the other front screen display is kept. For this reason, the correlation lines 24a, 24b, 24c, 25 extending radially from the bar graph 22 in the middle of the operation toward the other section display positions 11 are displayed.
The values a and 25b change every moment in conjunction with the movement operation of the bar graph 22. When the operation is completed and the destination of the department is determined by the mouse h5, the entire front screen 2 is updated again through the same process as described above.

In the area display area 12, a bar graph 26 at the left end of each floor indicates an area allocated to a department other than a section, such as a dining room and a boardroom. These are fixed in principle, but can be increased or decreased as necessary when it is difficult to adjust the required area of each department. Also,
Below the background screen 1, a section column 15 for displaying the section names corresponding to the arrangement in relation to the layers is additionally provided, and the layers 1F to 6F and the section names are displayed on the front screen 2 above. Are superimposed. Further, on the right side of the background screen 1, there is provided an area display column 16 for numerically displaying the sum of the section required areas of each floor in relation to the available floor area of the floor, The layers 1F to 6F and necessary numerical values are superimposed and displayed on the front screen 2 above.

On the operation screen A, X
Each department is made to correspond to the department display position 11 in the axial direction along the current department arrangement.
Since 1a to 21e are displayed, it is possible to know from what location to which department is allocated to which floor of the office building. Also, on the area display area 12 of the front screen 2, area lines 23a to 23f indicating the sum of the section required areas of the respective sections distributed to each floor are displayed in the Y-axis direction.
Since the background screen 1 displays the area lines 14a to 14f indicating the available floor area of the floor in the Y-axis direction, the area lines 23a to 23f and 14a to 14f correspond to each other so as to correspond to the current hierarchy. It is possible to determine whether the position of the division line 21a is appropriate for the area distribution. In addition, since the bar graph 22 indicating the required area of the section is clearly displayed in the vertical direction in each section display position 11, it is possible to determine which section should be moved to which hierarchy to improve the area distribution. Can be. On the other hand, in the proximity display area 12 of the front screen 2, the correlation lines 24a and 24b indicating the proximity state extend in the X-axis direction and are bridged between the section display positions 11. At this time, the more the correlation lines 24a and 24b extend beyond the section division line 21a, the more the sections are separated from each other on the upper and lower floors of the office building. Therefore, it can be used as a guide for determining how to move the department to improve the correlation. Conversely, in the distantness display area 14, since the correlation lines 25a and 25b indicating the sparse state extend in the X-axis direction and are bridged between the section display positions 11, the correlation lines 25a and 25b are It can be regarded that the more the sections extend beyond the division line 21a, the more satisfactory the correlation between the sections is. In this manner, on the front screen 2, whether or not the actual assignment of each section to each of the office floors 1 to 6F along the current section arrangement satisfies the area condition, and exists between the sections. It is possible to know whether or not the proximity relation or the distant relation is satisfied.

Next, the evaluation screen B will be described. When this screen B is selected, the processor h2 first displays the background screen 3 in FIG. The background screen 3 has an arbitrary section column 31 in which a plurality of section display frames 31a are arranged in a certain direction, and an upper right or lower right grid line 32a rising from between the respective section display frames 31a in the section column 31. There is provided a correlation matrix 32 in which a number of rhombus display points 32b are associated with the vertices of a triangle viewed as the base between the two section display frames 31a. The section display frame 31a has a pentagonal shape, and two sides sandwiching the vertex of the display frame 31a are in close contact between the rhombus display points 32b forming the bottom of the correlation matrix 32.

Next, the processor h2 superimposes and displays the front screen 4 on the front of the background screen 3. On the front screen 4, first, each section is displayed in the respective section display frame 31a with the sections corresponding to the hierarchical division positions left blank along the section arrangement stored in the memory h1.
Are sequentially assigned, and the actual department name is displayed together with the department number. Next, the correlation value (+
+), (+), (+-), (-), (-) Are various identifiers 44a, 44b, 44c, 44d, 44 which are formed and registered in advance by combining patterns and gradations.
e, and are displayed on the diamond-shaped display points 32b of the corresponding departments. For example, there is a close relationship between the special sales internal affairs of the section number 18 and the special sales 2 part of the section number 16, and the identifier 44a indicating the close proximity is displayed on the diamond-shaped display point 32b that associates the two sections. Also, on this screen 4, grid lines 32a are masked along the oblique sides of the triangles viewed as the bottom between the two nearest display frames 31a of the blanked section display frames 31a, so that the sawtooth shape is visible. Is formed. Thus, the memory h1
Is rewritten on the operation screen A, the next time this screen B is called, the processor h2 updates the front screen 4 based on the new arrangement.

In such an evaluation screen B, when a certain department arrangement is given, an identifier 44 indicating the proximity is displayed.
It is considered that the more the a and 44b are distributed near the bottom of the entire correlation matrix 32, the more the division arrangement satisfies the close relation between divisions.
It can be considered that the more the d and 44e are distributed near the vertices of the entire correlation matrix 32, the more the division arrangement satisfies the distant relation between divisions. Therefore, by paying attention to the positions of the identifiers 44a to 44e on the correlation matrix 32, the current arrangement can be evaluated, and the position to be corrected next can be estimated. Then, an array change operation on the operation screen A,
When the evaluation on the evaluation screen is alternately repeated, the front screen 4 is updated based on the new arrangement every time the evaluation screen B is called. Therefore, by paying attention to how the distribution of the identifiers 44a to 44e has changed compared to the time of the previous call, it is possible to know whether or not the rearrangement work performed immediately before was appropriate.

By the way, in such vertical zoning, the purpose can be achieved if departments that desire a close relationship can be arranged on the same floor and departments that want a distant relationship can be arranged on different floors. In this case, the section display frame 31a corresponding to the hierarchical division position is blanked, and the hierarchical division band 43 is provided along the oblique side of the triangle having the division display frames 31a as bases. For this reason, the diamond-shaped display points 32 b belonging to the small triangle 45 newly appearing below the hierarchical zone band 43 indicate the correlation between the sections arranged on the same floor, and are displayed above the hierarchical zone zone 43. The diamond-shaped display points 32b belonging to the area 46 to be separated all indicate the correlation between the departments arranged on different floors. Therefore, if attention is paid to how the identifiers 44a to 44e are present in the small triangles 45 and the areas 46, how much vertical zoning at a certain time satisfies the complicated correlation of all departments. Can be grasped at a glance.

As shown in FIG. 6, each of the hierarchical zones 143 has a corresponding one of the identifiers 44a to 44d at a diamond-shaped display point 32b along the hypotenuse.
It may be formed by applying a color, pattern, gradation, or a combination thereof, different from 4e. In addition, other than these, the correlation matrix does not necessarily need to be provided on the background screen, but can be provided on the front screen. In this case, it is effective to form the hierarchical zone by deleting the grid lines. Furthermore, the section display frame does not necessarily have to be pentagonal and closely adjacent to the diamond-shaped display points. However, this is preferable because the correspondence between departments can be clarified. Furthermore,
It is a matter of course that the identifiers and hierarchical divisions can be configured using colors, patterns, gradations, and the like other than those described above. Other configurations can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0028]

When the office planning apparatus according to the present invention is applied, whether the immediately preceding rearrangement work is appropriate, and how much vertical zoning at that time shows the complex correlation of all departments. Whether or not the condition is satisfied can be easily and accurately evaluated through the screen. For this reason, it is possible to provide the vertical zoning operation with a direction for steadily converging.
