Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and method, a program, and a recording medium, and more particularly to an information processing apparatus and method for generating system diagram data based on drawing data of a structure on a plurality of floors, a program, and the program. The present invention relates to a computer-readable recording medium.

  In designing a high-rise building such as a building, the design is often advanced for each floor using a plan view of a CAD (Computer Aided Design) device. For example, when managing a floor plan for each floor, each floor such as the first floor and the second floor in one file is recognized in order to recognize information (for example, a pipe shaft and an atrium). A method for managing the connection information of each floor is taken.

  In an interactive automatic design CAD system, when drawing a plurality of drawings consisting of a group of plan views perpendicular to the same axis of a drawing target composed of a plurality of components, a certain component on an arbitrary plan view When the position is moved by an interactive operation, there is one in which the position is moved in conjunction with all the components on other plan views affected by this movement (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  Further, a common ID is assigned to a figure that points to the same feature among a plurality of drawings and between drawings and feature attributes. That is, for a figure without an ID of a new drawing, an ID is assigned by associating it with an already-input feature using the designation by the user, the figure position, and the topology relationship between the figures as keys. Then, the graphic that contradicts the already input feature due to the topology relationship is presented to the user as a contradictory graphic or an updated graphic. Further, for the updated figure, the feature attribute is updated, and the figure at the same position in the topology of the related drawing is updated in conjunction with it. In this way, there is an apparatus that can realize the correspondence between drawings and attributes, drawing contradiction / update location extraction, and related drawing linked update functions in an integrated and low-cost manner (for example, see Patent Document 2). .

  However, if drawings of multiple floors are stored in a single file, if the number of floors increases, the data capacity increases, so the processing time increases, resulting in poor response from the information processing apparatus and productivity. There was a problem of falling. In addition, as the response from the information processing device deteriorates, it takes time to prepare the floor drawing data for the target floor when drawing and editing the floor drawing data. There was a problem of ending up. Furthermore, since there is too much information (for example, a layer etc.) other than information on the floor to be worked, there is a problem that workability is deteriorated and productivity is lowered.

  In order to solve the above problems, especially when managing the design of a high-rise structure with a drawing for each floor in a CAD drawing, in order to be able to suppress the trouble and mistakes in management, The acquisition means for acquiring the drawing data, the information of the through structure of the reference floor drawing data serving as a reference among the plurality of floor drawing data acquired by the acquisition means, and the floor drawing data other than the reference floor drawing data Patent Document 3 discloses an information processing apparatus including a comparison unit that compares information with a penetrating structure and a display unit that distinguishes and displays floor plan data based on a comparison result of the comparison unit.
