Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for creating drawings using a plurality of graphic data created by CAD, and more particularly to a drawing creation system for land and house inspectors.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general CAD for designing, the figure itself has regularity, and leader lines are automatically provided at the stage of figure placement and character placement so that the character string and other figure data do not overlap. Was there.

However, in the graphic data in the registration survey, the building has a very small scale as compared with the graphic on the design drawing, and when arranged in the registration drawing format, depending on the floor shape, a character string and other graphic data may be generated. Occurrence of overlapping parts cannot be avoided. In addition, the land shape has no regularity because the figure is a restoration of the natural state, and it was not possible to place it after editing the figure while considering the overlap between the character string and other figure data.

Further, even in the process of eliminating the overlap between the character string and other graphic data, the processing target is limited to the one-to-one relationship between the character string and the overlapped graphic data, and the overlap occurs at the time of character string retrieval. By eliminating the overlap with the existing graphic data, it is not considered that a new overlap condition will occur after the character string is moved, and it will overlap with other graphic data again. I have to do it.

[0005]

According to the conventional method, in the process of eliminating the overlapping state of the character string and the other graphic data, the target of the processing is the character string and the overlapped graphic data, each 1
It was limited to only one item. However, there is no measure against the possibility that a new overlapping state will be generated by eliminating the overlapping state.

The object of the present invention is to improve the automation of the work from the search of the character string to the movement, and to prevent the occurrence of a new overlapping state by eliminating one overlapping state. An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic character string editing system that can efficiently reduce the number of times and further improve work efficiency.

[0007]

The automatic character string editing system of the present invention is premised on a system for automatically eliminating the overlap between character strings on a registered drawing or between character strings and lines of a figure. And a graphic data storage means for storing graphic data composed of a line segment and a character string created based on a physical survey of the floor shape of the building or the section shape of the land,
A graphic editing control means for arranging and editing graphic data and calculation results on a registered drawing format set on the display, a display device for displaying graphic data arranged and edited by the drawing edit control means, and an operator An input device for inputting designation of a range on a screen of a display device for performing automatic edit processing of a character string, a character string search means for searching for an overlapping character string, and a surrounding area of the searched character string. A character string surrounding search means for searching a blank area, a character string moving means for moving the character string to the blank area when the blank area is found, and a character string reduction when the blank area is not found. And a character string reducing means.

Further, the character string automatic editing method of the present invention includes a step of storing graphic data consisting of a line segment and a character string created based on an actual survey of a floor shape of a building or a land division shape, and an operator. Input a specification of a range in which a character string is to be automatically edited, a step of searching for a character string having an overlap, a step of searching a blank area around the searched character string, The steps include moving a character string to the blank area when a blank area is found, and reducing the character string when the blank area is not found.

The character string automatic editing method of the present invention can be realized by causing a computer to execute a program. In that case, the storage medium read by the computer is a function to store the graphic data consisting of line segments and character strings created based on the actual survey of the floor shape of the building or the sectional shape of the land, and the graphic data and the calculation result. Etc. on the registered drawing format set on the display, a function to display the arranged and edited graphic data, and a function to let the operator input the range to perform the automatic edit processing of character strings. , A function of searching for a character string having an overlap, a function of searching a blank area around the searched character string, and a function of moving the character string to the blank area when the blank area is found. Data for causing a computer to execute a function of reducing a character string when the blank area is not found is stored.

According to the present invention, the character string can be moved to an appropriate position by a single editing process by taking into consideration the existence of non-overlapping graphic data in the process of searching the appropriate destination of the character string. Further, it is possible to efficiently judge whether or not it is difficult to specify the destination and notify the operator of the result. This can be realized by setting a certain range around the character string and determining whether another character string or line is included in this range.

Further, as a result of searching within a certain range as described above, if it is found that there is a blank area having a width sufficient to move the character string, the character string is placed in this blank area. To move. However, an appropriate blank area is not always found, and in such a case, the character string is reduced and displayed. Further, if the overlap still remains even if the character strings are reduced, the reduced character strings are moved.

1 is a block diagram showing the principle of an automatic character string editing system according to the present invention. The system of the present invention includes a graphic data storage unit 1, a drawing edit control unit 2, a character string search unit 3, a character string reduction unit 4, a character string surrounding search unit 5, a character string moving unit 6, and a display. The drawing output plotter 8 and the keyboard 9 are connected to each other.

The figure data storage unit 1 uses the floor shape data of the building created based on the numerical data, the land shape data of the land, or the data in which both are mixed as the numerical data used at the time of input such as the dimension value. It is stored while retaining it as numerical notation data.

The drawing edit control unit 2 includes a graphic data storage unit 1.
The graphic data is read out and edited in the registered drawing format. The character string search unit 3 searches for character strings on the graphic data read by the drawing edit control unit 2 or for overlapping positions of the character strings and line segments.

The character string surrounding search unit 5 searches around the character string existing on the overlapping portion based on the search result notified by the character string search unit 3. The character string moving unit 6 receives a command together with the search results notified by the character string searching unit 3 and the character string surrounding searching unit 5, and performs a process of moving the character string existing on the overlapping portion on the graphic data to the blank area. To do.

From the keyboard 9, the operator inputs a command for reading the graphic data from the graphic data storage unit 1. With this command, the graphic data is read and transferred to the drawing edit control unit 2. In the drawing edit control unit 2,
The graphic data is arranged in the registered drawing format and displayed on the display device 7.

Next, the operator activates the character string automatic editing system from the keyboard 9. When the character string automatic editing system is activated, it waits for the operator's input.
The operator uses the keyboard 9 to specify a search range on the graphic data displayed on the display device 7.
Although not shown, the mouse can also be used to specify the search range. Generally, as an input device from the operator, a mouse (not shown) is provided in addition to the keyboard 9.

Based on this input data, the activation of the character string search unit 3 is instructed. The character string search unit 3 is activated to search for a character string or a character string overlapping a line segment. Based on the data notified from the character string search unit 3, the activation of the character string surrounding search unit 5 is instructed. The character string surrounding search unit 5 is activated to search the surroundings of the character string searched by the character string search unit 3 and search for a blank area where a line segment or a character string does not already exist.

Based on the data notified by the character string surrounding search unit 5, an instruction to activate the character string moving unit 6 is issued. The character string moving unit 6 is activated to move the character string searched by the character string searching unit 3 to a blank area where the line segment or the character string searched by the character string surrounding searching unit 5 does not exist, and The result is displayed on the display device 7.

When the operator determines that all editing work has been completed, he or she inputs a drawing print program execution command from the keyboard 9. If it is determined that the editing work is not completed yet, the operator continues the editing work.

This command causes the drawing output plotter 8 to output the graphic data in the drawing editing control unit 2 as a registered drawing. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the hardware configuration of this embodiment,
CPU that executes issuance of each instruction based on a program
Each of the components centering around 20 is connected to a common bus 28. The ROM 21 stores a program for performing basic processing such as system I / O processing. RA
In M22, an execution program for executing the function of the character string automatic editing system shown in FIG. 1 as a program and a program supporting this are loaded at the time of use,
It is designed to be executed by the CPU 20. or,
The RAM 22 functions as the graphic data storage unit 1 in FIG. 1 and stores graphic data.

The figure plotter 24 prints and outputs a registration drawing in accordance with a print command input by the operator from the keyboard 25. The display device 26 is
The drawing data generated by the CPU 20 is displayed to present the edited drawing to the operator, and the operator can edit the drawing while looking at the screen of the display device 26.

The storage medium reading device 23 reads the storage medium 27 in which the program relating to the system of the present invention is stored, loads it into the RAM 22, and sets it up so that it can be executed by the CPU 20. Alternatively, it can be directly executed from the storage medium 27. The storage medium 27 is a floppy disk, a CD-ROM, or the like, and stores a program having a predetermined function so that it can be read by a computer.

The bus 28 also has a communication interface 1
0 is connected, and the database 11 of the program provider can be accessed through the communication line. The program for performing the process of the present invention is downloaded from the database 11 of the program provider, and R
It may be expanded to the AM 22 and executed by the CPU 20. Alternatively, a server (not shown) such as a large computer is accessed, the server performs the processing of the present invention, and only the result is transferred to the RAM 22 via the communication interface 10.
It may be stored in the display device 26 and displayed on the display device 26.

Further, in the figure, the program is read from the storage medium 27, but the program of the present invention may be stored in the ROM 21 in advance, and the entire system may be dedicated to the automatic character string editing system. is there.

The functions of the drawing edit control unit 2, the character string searching unit 3, the character string surrounding searching unit 5, the character string moving unit 6, and the character string reducing unit 4 shown in FIG. The CPU 20 performs this based on a program stored in advance in the ROM 21.

The hardware configuration shown in FIG. 2 does not need to be special, and a general computer main body, a keyboard 25 connected to the computer main body, a display device 26, and a registration drawing with required quality can be used. It may be constituted by a graphic output plotter or printer capable of printing. Such a hardware configuration can be configured by a hardware equivalent to CAD, for example.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the character string automatic editing system of the present invention. In the system for creating drawings related to land and house registration, in the floor data of the building displayed on the display or in the land shape data of the land, in the character data in which the overlapping of the display area with other graphic data is recognized, A rectangular frame 30 that can contain character data in adjacent areas on the left, right, top and bottom of the data
The size is searched for and it is confirmed whether or not other graphic data including the graphic data overlapped at the time of the search already exists in the area.

Then, based on the search result, the character data is moved to a blank area where no other graphic data exists. Regarding the search range, when a character string is arranged, the position where the character string is arranged is often arranged at that position for some reason. In the present invention, the maximum search range is set in the vertical and horizontal directions of the target character string, and is set to the character height of the words that form the character string. In terms of coordinate values, if the lower left corner of the character string is the origin coordinates (x, y), the vertical length (height) of the character is H, and the horizontal length (width) is W, the search range is , X−NH ≦ X coordinate ≦ x + NH, y−MW ≦ Y
Set a range of coordinates ≤ y + MW (the vertical axis is the x-axis and the horizontal axis is the y-axis in the registration drawing), and an arbitrary natural number N, depending on the arrangement of the character string to be searched, Set M to determine the search range. Here, the range of the X coordinate and the Y coordinate means that the lower left of the character string is moved within this range. Therefore, if the number of character strings is 6 and they are arranged in the horizontal direction, the range of the rectangular area to be searched is x-
NH≤X coordinate≤x + NH, y-MW≤Y coordinate≤y + (M
+6) W range.

For example, in the case of a dimension value, if a line segment having the length of the indicated dimension value is present in the vicinity, the destination of the character string cannot be obtained at a distant position. When N and M = 1, the search range is x−H ≦ X coordinate ≦ x + H, y−
W ≦ Y coordinate ≦ y + W.

FIG. 3A shows a state in which the dimension values representing the dimensions of the land are displayed overlapping on the registration drawing. First, the operator designates a portion where a character string to be processed exists on the registration drawing. The system searches for a character string contained in the area specified by the operator. Now, the processing target is the moving target character string 31 displayed as "0.990", which is "K".
It is shown that the character string "2" and the character string "1.571" overlap. The character string to be processed is determined in the order in which the system sequentially searches the character strings and finds the overlap between the character strings or the overlap with the line.

When the character string "0.990" is moved, as shown by the rectangular frame 30 in FIG. 9A, the area is divided in a grid pattern in accordance with one character height, and the moving object is moved. The character string 31 has a predetermined character height (see FIG.
In the case of, a large rectangular area (one character height) is set, and it is searched whether or not there is a line of other characters or figures in each grid-shaped area. Then, it is determined whether or not a predetermined number of characters, for example, in the case of the character string “0.990”, an area for 5 characters can be taken within the set rectangular area. If you can get an area of 5 characters in the rectangular area,
The character string "0.990" is moved to that position.

In the case of FIG. 7A, there is shown a case where the position for moving the character string of 5 characters is not within the rectangular area.
In the system of the present invention, when there is no place to move the character string, the character string is reduced and displayed.

FIG. 6B is a diagram showing a state in which the character string is reduced. When reducing characters, the operator inputs the reduction ratio from an input device such as a keyboard. According to the input reduction ratio, the character string “0.
990 "is reduced and displayed. In the case of FIG.
By reducing the character string, it is shown that the characters do not overlap each other and the character string can be arranged well.

In this way, when the character strings can be satisfactorily arranged by the reduction, the processing is finished. However, when the character strings are overlapped with each other or overlapped with the lines of the figure even if the character strings are reduced. There is. In this case,
The area specified by the operator is searched again from the beginning, a rectangular area is set with the size of the reduced character string, and it is determined whether or not it is possible to arrange the reduced character strings so that they do not overlap. .

If the reduced character strings can be arranged so as not to overlap, the reduced character strings are moved to the blank area.
If no blank area in which the reduced character string can be moved is found, the operator specifies the moving position of the reduced character string with a mouse or the like and moves the character string.

It is to be noted that, as described above, a rectangular frame of a certain size is provided around the character string, a blank area is searched, and the character is reduced when it is not found. However, if it represents the length of one side of the figure representing the land, and if it is too far from this line, it will be difficult to clearly indicate which side the character represents. is there. Therefore, a rectangular frame of a certain size is set around the overlapping character strings, and a blank area is searched for in this area to prevent the character strings from moving too far from the line segment representing the side. Of.

As for the search range of the blank area, for a tilted character string, a range in which the tilt angle of the character string is taken into consideration is set, and the range is searched. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the information content included in the data structure representing the character string.

The type code is a code for indicating the type of character string, and indicates whether it is a character string containing only numbers, including a decimal point, or including an alphabet. The color specifies the color of the character string, and white or green is set by default. In the case of the present invention, when the character string is reduced twice, the second reduction is performed. First, change the color of the character string to red, etc. (marking),
This is to clearly show that the blank area could not be found by one reduction, and to be a mark when the operator manually moves the marked character string in the next process.

The line type indicates what kind of line a character is represented by, and there are a solid line and a broken line, but the character is fixed to the solid line. The line end type is used when an arrow or the like is attached to the end of the line, but in the case of a character, the line end type is fixed to "none". Further, the thickness is selected from a thin line, a medium line (double line), and a thick line (triple line). In the case of a character, the thin line is fixed although there is a font relationship.

The character display format is a format for displaying characters on the display and is like a font. The dimension number is an identification number between dimension lines and dimension values. The group number is a number for recognizing a plurality of figures and characters as one block.

The character string X coordinate and the character string Y coordinate are the X and Y coordinates of the beginning of the character string. In addition, there is information such as character height, character spacing, and character inclination, and the content of the character string is provided at the end. With the contents of the character string, for example,
To display "0.990", select "0.99".
"0" is held as the content of the character string.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart of the main part of the character string automatic editing process of the present invention. When the existing registration drawing creation program is operating and the character strings are overlapped, the character string automatic editing program of the present invention for performing the processing shown in FIG. 5 is called (S201). Next, the range in which the target character string for automatic character string editing is searched is specified using the mouse or keyboard (S202). The designation method is not particularly limited, but, for example, a method of designating two points on the screen with a mouse and designating a rectangular range having these two points as diagonal lines is also possible.

When the designated range is set, a subroutine for searching for overlapping character strings is started (S20).
3) It is determined whether or not the character string to be moved is found (S204). The character string search subroutine corresponds to the character string search unit 3 in the configuration of FIG. If the character string to be moved is not found, the operator determines whether or not there is a marked character string within the specified range (S213), and if there is no marked character string, the process ends. And

When the character string to be moved is found in step S204, it is then determined whether or not the character string is marked (S205). here,
Although any marking may be used, for example, it is possible to display the character string in red by changing the color portion of the information in the data structure of the character string to red. The color is not limited to red,
It can be any color, but the default color of the string is usually set to white or green, so try to use a different color.

If the character string is marked in step S205, it means that the marked character string exists in the determination in step S213, and therefore the subroutine for moving the character string is started in step S214. When the movement of the character string is completed, the marking of the character string is released (S215). Here, step S
The subroutine 214 corresponds to the character string moving unit 6 in FIG. When the marking is released in step S215, it is again judged by the operator whether or not there is a marked character string (S213). If there is no marked character string, the process ends.

If the character string is not marked in step S205, the size of the rectangular frame having a predetermined size around the character string is calculated (S206), and the area around the character string is searched (S207). ). Here, the rectangular frame is the rectangular frame 30 of FIG. 3, and a position where the character string does not overlap with other characters or lines is searched for in this rectangular frame. The size of the rectangular frame 30 is appropriately set by the operator. Further, the portion performing the processing of steps S206 and 207 corresponds to the character string surrounding search unit 5 in FIG.

It is determined whether or not a blank area in which the character string can be arranged so as not to intersect another character or line is found as a result of searching around the character string within the rectangular frame ( In step S208, the character string is moved (step S209).
The character string moving unit 6 (FIG. 1) moves the character string. When the movement of the character strings is completed, the overlapping of the character strings has been resolved. Therefore, in order to search whether another character string within the range specified in step S202 is overlapping, return to step S203. The following processing is performed.

If a blank area cannot be found in the rectangular frame in step S208, the flow advances to step S210 to determine whether or not the size of the character string has been changed for the second time (S).
210). If the size is not changed for the second time, the character string size changing subroutine is activated (S21).
1). The character size can be changed by the character string reduction unit 4 in FIG.
Do.

When determining in step S210, a flag indicating that the size of the character string data has been changed is provided. When this flag is "0", the size change is 1
In the case of the first time, "1", it can be configured to judge that the size change is the second time.

If the size change is not the second time, the size is changed in step S211 and then step S203.
Then, the following processing is performed. In this case, if the resized character string is found in step S204,
A rectangular area is calculated for the character string that has been resized, for example, a reduced character string, and a blank area is searched. Here, if a blank area is found, the reduced character string can be moved to the blank area to eliminate the overlap between the character strings or between the character string and the line.

If no blank area can be found in the resized character string (NO in S208), the size is changed again in step S210.
It is judged whether it is the first time. At this time, since the size has been changed for the second time, the process proceeds to step S212, and the character string is marked, for example, the character color is changed to red.

When marking is completed, the process returns to step S203 to search for another character string, and the following processing is performed. By repeating the processing from step S203 to step S212, the character strings eventually overlap, but the marked ones remain or all the character strings are arranged without overlapping. Then, the process proceeds to step S213. Here, as described above, when there is a marked character string, the character string is moved according to the instruction of the operator (S2
14) The marking is released (S215). If there is no marked character string, the process ends.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the overlapping character string search and character string size changing processing. The figure (a) is
8 is a flowchart of a search process for overlapping character strings. This flowchart corresponds to the subroutine of step S203 in the flow of FIG.

When the subroutine for searching for overlapping character strings is activated, first, the graphic data within the search range on the screen designated in step S202 of FIG.
It is read from (FIG. 1) (S301). It is determined whether or not a character string is found in the read graphic data (S
302) If the character string cannot be found, the character string search process is terminated.

When the character string is found, the size of the quadrangle surrounding the character string is calculated (S303), and the graphic data in the range designated in step S202 of FIG. 5 is read again (S304). Then, it is determined whether or not there are characters or figures in the square (S305), and if there are no figures or characters, the process ends. If a figure or character exists, the intersection of the character string and the square is obtained (S30).
6). Then, in step S307, it is determined whether or not there is an intersection (S307), and when there is no intersection,
Since it can be said that there is no figure other than the original character string in the square, the process ends.

If there is an intersection, a character or a graphic exists because it overlaps the original character string.
Since the original character string is an overlapping character string to be moved, the character string is notified as the output of the subroutine (S308), the process is terminated, and the process returns to the main process of FIG.

FIG. 7B shows step S in the flow of FIG.
It is a figure which shows the processing flow of the subroutine of the size change of the character string of 211. When the character string size changing subroutine is activated, first, the character attribute data of the character string to be changed is read (S401). Character attribute data is, for example,
It has items as shown in FIG. 4 as data.
Next, the read character height data is displayed on the screen (S402), and a new character height input by the operator is read (S403). The character height data of the character attribute data is changed according to the read character height data (S40
4), the process is terminated, and the process returns to the main process of FIG.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a process for moving a character string according to an instruction from the operator. When the subroutine is started in step S214 of FIG. 5, the four-sided character size frame enclosing the character string to be moved is connected to the mouse cursor (S501), and the operator uses the mouse to indicate the destination of the character string on the screen. Yes (S502). When the destination of the character string is determined, the designated coordinate value is read (S503), the coordinate data of the character string attribute data is updated (S504), and the process ends. Since the coordinate data is updated, the character string is moved to a new position, and the process returns to the main process of FIG.

[0061]

As described above, according to the present invention, when creating / editing a registration drawing related to registration of a land / house, an operator further distinguishes by his / her own nakedness and automates a part which depends on a manual operation. Even when the system requests a manual operation, the system does not always have to face the system terminal because the request is made after all the work that can be performed automatically is completed. As a result, in some cases, the drawing may be completed when the character string automatic editing process is completed. Therefore, the efficiency of the registration drawing creation / editing work is dramatically improved.
