Specifically, for the table fixed on the floor or the table that is heavy and cannot be moved easily, the movement availability information is set to “impossible to move”.

  The floor image 121 is an image set in advance for each floor. For example, floor images 121 of a plurality of floors are stored in the storage unit 12 for each of a plurality of stores. When the user selects a floor for which a floor layout is to be created, a floor image 121 of the selected floor is displayed on the operation display unit 13. The floor image 121 may include preset component image 122 (posts, walls, doors, kitchens, toilets, etc.). For example, the component image 122 that does not need to change the layout of the floor structure is preset in the floor image 121.

  As another embodiment, part or all of information such as the floor image 121, the component image 122, and the table information 123 may be stored in a server accessible from the floor layout creation device 1. . And the control part 11 of the floor layout creation apparatus 1 may acquire various information from the said server, and may perform each process, such as the below-mentioned floor layout creation process (refer FIG. 8).

  The storage unit 12 also stores data corresponding to display screens such as a setting screen P1 (see FIG. 4) and a layout screen P2 (see FIG. 4) described later.

  Further, the storage unit 12 stores a control program such as a floor layout creation program for causing the control unit 11 to execute a floor layout creation process (see FIG. 8) described later. For example, the floor layout creation program is recorded non-temporarily on a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD or DVD, and is read by a reading device (not shown) such as a CD drive or a DVD drive provided in the floor layout creation device 1. And stored in the storage unit 12. Alternatively, the floor layout creation program may be downloaded from a server accessible from the floor layout creation device 1 and stored in the storage unit 12.

  The control unit 11 includes control devices such as a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. The CPU is a processor that executes various arithmetic processes. The ROM is a non-volatile storage unit in which control programs such as BIOS and OS for causing the CPU to execute various arithmetic processes are stored in advance. The RAM is a volatile or nonvolatile storage unit that stores various types of information, and is used as a temporary storage memory (working area) for various types of processing executed by the CPU. And the control part 11 controls the floor layout production apparatus 1 by executing the various control programs previously memorize | stored in the said ROM or the memory | storage part 12 by said CPU.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 11 includes a setting display processing unit 111, a floor display processing unit 112, a table display processing unit 113, an element interval calculation processing unit 114, a determination processing unit 115, and the number of seats. Various processing units such as the calculation processing unit 116 are included. The control unit 11 executes various processes in accordance with the floor layout creation program by the CPU, so that the setting display processing unit 111, the floor display processing unit 112, the table display processing unit 113, and the element interval calculation processing unit 114. , Function as a determination processing unit 115 and a seat number calculation processing unit 116. Moreover, one part or all the process part contained in the control part 11 may be comprised with the electronic circuit. The floor layout creation program may be a program for causing a plurality of processors to function as the various processing units.

  The setting display processing unit 111 displays a setting screen P1 including a target selection field P11 for selecting a store and a floor for which a floor layout is to be created, and an element image display field P12 for displaying the component image 122. It is displayed on the operation display unit 13. FIG. 4 shows an example of the setting screen P1. In the setting screen P1 shown in FIG. 4, the target selection column P11 includes a store selection column for selecting a store and a floor selection column for selecting a floor. The element image display column P12 includes a table. An image, a cash register image, a smoking area image, a toilet image, a pillar image, and a wall image are included. The user selects a store and a floor in the target selection column P11, selects a desired component image 122 from the component images 122 displayed in the component image display column P12, and arranges the selected component image 122 on the layout screen P2. The element image display field P12 is provided with a scroll bar, and the user can cause the element image display field P12 to display a plurality of component element images 122 stored in the storage unit 12 by operating the scroll bar. It is possible.

  The floor display processing unit 112 displays the floor image 121 on the layout screen P2 of the operation display unit 13. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, when the user selects the store “SP001” and the floor “R001” in the target selection field P11, the floor display processing unit 112 acquires the floor image SP1 corresponding to this from the storage unit 12. And displayed on the layout screen P2. In the floor image SP1 shown in FIG. 4, a wall image, a pillar image, a door image, a kitchen image, and a toilet image are set in advance.

  The table display processing unit 113 arranges and displays the component image 122 selected by the user on the setting screen P1 on the layout screen P2. For example, when the user selects the table image A1 with the mouse and performs an operation (for example, drag and drop operation) to place the table image A1 at a desired position on the floor image SP1 on the layout screen P2, the table display processing unit 113 The table image A1 is displayed. As the user repeats the above operation, the component image 122 is arranged on the layout screen P2. In addition, the table display processing unit 113 displays the seat image associated with the table image displayed on the setting screen P1 on the layout screen P2 in association with the table image. The table display processing unit 113 displays the component image 122 on the layout screen P2 at the same scale as the scale of the floor image SP1 displayed on the layout screen P2.

  The element interval calculation processing unit 114 calculates a distance (interval) between the table image arranged on the layout screen P2 and another component element image 122 adjacent to the table image. For example, the element interval calculation processing unit 114 calculates an interval between adjacent table images, an interval between adjacent table images and column images, an interval between adjacent table images and wall images, and the like on the layout screen P2. For example, when the table image includes four sides corresponding to a table formed in a rectangular shape, the element interval calculation processing unit 114, for each of the four sides, the component image that faces the side and the side. The interval with 122 is calculated.

  The determination processing unit 115 determines whether or not the interval calculated by the element interval calculation processing unit 114 is smaller than a predetermined value (threshold value) set in advance. For example, the determination processing unit 115 determines whether or not the intervals corresponding to the four sides calculated by the element interval calculation processing unit 114 are smaller than the predetermined value. Although the details will be described later, the predetermined value is different depending on the type (table image, column image, wall image, etc.) of the component image 122 arranged adjacent to (opposed to) the table image (first image). 1 predetermined value, second predetermined value, etc.).

  When the interval is smaller than the predetermined value, the table display processing unit 113 is adjacent (opposite) to the table image and the table image among the seat images associated with the table image displayed on the setting screen P1. The remaining seat images excluding the seat image located between the other component image 122 are displayed on the layout screen P2 in association with the table image. The predetermined value is generally set to a minimum length required when a customer uses a seat. The predetermined value may be set in consideration of a passage width behind the seat.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the floor layout FR created by the above processing. The table images T1 to T12 of the floor layout FR shown in FIG. 5 are substantially the same as the positional relationship of the tables actually arranged on the floor R001. A table number is displayed at the upper left corner of each of the table images T1 to T12, and a table type is displayed at the lower left corner. For example, the table image T2 indicates a table whose table number is “2” and whose table type is “A2”.

  The seat number calculation processing unit 116 calculates the number of seats available to the customer in the table corresponding to the table image. For example, the seat number calculation processing unit 116 calculates “6” as the number of seats available to the customer at the table number “1”, and calculates “5” as the number of seats available to the customer at the table number “2”. To do. In addition, the seat number calculation processing unit 116 calculates the total number of seats available to the customer corresponding to the created floor layout FR (see FIG. 5). The seat number calculation processing unit 116 registers the number of seats for each table and the total number of seats in the layout information 124 (see FIG. 9).

  Here, an example of a specific display process performed by the table display processing unit 113 when the interval calculated by the element interval calculation processing unit 114 is smaller than the predetermined value will be described. 6A to 6D show an example of display processing of the table display processing unit 113 when three table images A1 are arranged in the upper right area of the floor image SP1 shown in FIG.

  First, it is assumed that the user has placed the table images T3 and T7 on the floor image SP1. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 6A, the user moves the table image A1 together with the mouse pointer PT to the right of the table image T3 from the setting screen P1 (see FIG. 4) by a drag and drop operation using a mouse. The element interval calculation processing unit 114 calculates an interval E1 between the table images T3 and T4, an interval E2 between the table image T4 and the column image, and an interval E3 between the table image T4 and the wall image. Here, since the interval E1 is greater than or equal to the first predetermined value, the table display processing unit 113 displays all seat images associated with the table images T3 and T4. On the other hand, since the interval E2 is smaller than the second predetermined value, the table display processing unit 113 deletes (hides) the seat image S1 located between the table image T4 and the column image. Similarly, since the interval E3 is smaller than the second predetermined value, the table display processing unit 113 deletes (hides) the seat image S2 located between the table image T4 and the wall image. When the table image T4 is arranged as shown in FIG. 6A, the table image T4 is displayed on the layout screen P2 as shown in FIG.

  Here, the first predetermined value is a value (first threshold value) used in the determination processing of the determination processing unit 115 when seat images are associated with respective sides facing each other in two adjacent table images. The second predetermined value is determined when the coordinate image is not associated with the portion of the component image 122 facing the table image in the adjacent table image and the component image 122. This is a value (second threshold value) used for the determination process. For example, the determination processing unit 115 performs the determination process using the first predetermined value when the table images A1 and A2 are adjacent to each other, or when the table images A2 and A3 are adjacent to each other. The determination processing unit 115 performs the determination process using the second predetermined value when the table images A1 and B1 are adjacent, or when the table image A1 and the column image are adjacent. The first predetermined value is set to a value larger than the second predetermined value.

  FIG. 6B shows a case where the interval E1 is smaller than the first predetermined value and larger than the second predetermined value. In this case, the table display processing unit 113 deletes (hides) the seat image S3 located between the table images T3 and T4 for the table image T4. The table display processing unit 113 is configured to delete the seat image associated with the table image selected (moving) by the user (here, the table image T4), but the present invention is not limited to this. The seat image associated with the table image (the table image T3 in this case) that is not selected by the table and that faces the table image selected by the user may be deleted. In FIG. 6B, the seat images S1 and S2 are deleted as in FIG. 6A.

  FIG. 6C shows a case where the interval E1 is smaller than the second predetermined value. In this case, the table display processing unit 113 deletes (hides) the seat images S3 and S4 positioned between the table images T3 and T4 for the table images T3 and T4. In FIG. 6C, since the intervals E3 and E4 are larger than the second predetermined value, the seat images associated with the right side and the upper side of the table image T4 are displayed. When the interval E1 is “0”, that is, when the table images T3 and T4 are arranged so as to be connected, the state is displayed in the state shown in FIG. 6D.

  For example, when the user drags the table image T4 with the mouse and sequentially moves the table display processing unit 113 to the positions illustrated in FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D, the table display processing unit 113 displays the display mode of each table image. 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D are displayed so as to be changed. Thereby, the user can intuitively grasp the seats that the customer can use for the tables “3” and “4”. Further, the user can grasp the accurate number of seats when creating the floor layout FR.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of display processing of the table display processing unit 113 when the table image T2 is arranged in the upper center area of the floor image SP1 shown in FIG.

  The element interval calculation processing unit 114 is a part of the table image T2 on the layout screen P2 that overlaps the column image when the column image is projected from a direction perpendicular to the side SL among the sides SL facing the column image. An interval E10 between the superimposed side SL0 and the column image is calculated.

  The determination processing unit 115 determines whether or not the interval E10 is smaller than the second predetermined value. In addition, when the interval E10 is smaller than the second predetermined value, the determination processing unit 115 determines the lengths L and L2 of the non-overlapping sides SL1 and SL2, which are the remaining portions excluding the overlapping side SL0, of the sides. It is determined whether or not it is longer than the length. When the length of the non-overlapping side is not less than the predetermined length and the interval E11 between the non-overlapping side and the wall image is not less than the second predetermined value, the table display processing unit 113 performs the non-overlapping side ( Here, the seat image is displayed in association with the non-overlapping side SL1). In addition, since the interval E10 is smaller than the second predetermined value here, the table display processing unit 113 deletes (hides) the seat image S10 located between the table image T2 and the column image. The predetermined length is generally set to a minimum length required when a customer uses a seat.

If the interval is smaller than the predetermined value (S104: YES), the process proceeds to step S105. If the interval is greater than or equal to the predetermined value (S104: NO), the process proceeds to step S106.

  In step S105, the control unit 11 (table display processing unit 113), among the seat images associated with the table image displayed on the setting screen P1, the table image and another component image adjacent to the table image. The seat image located between the two is deleted (hidden).

  In step S106, the control unit 11 (table display processing unit 113) displays the table image associated with the seat image on the layout screen P2. In addition, about the table image from which the predetermined seat image was deleted in step S105, the table display process part 113 associates and displays the remaining seat images on the layout screen P2. By the floor layout creation process described above, for example, the floor layout FR shown in FIG. 5 is created.

  FIG. 9 is an example of the layout information 124 corresponding to the floor layout FR (see FIG. 5) created by the above processing. The layout information 124 includes a table number corresponding to the table image arranged in the floor layout FR, a table type corresponding to the table number, the number of seats in the table, and the number of seats available to customers in the table. Are registered in association with each other. The layout information 124 registers the total number of seats available for each table, that is, the total number of seats available on the floor R001. The layout information 124 shown in FIG. 9 corresponds to the floor layout FR shown in FIG. 5, and “48” is registered as the total number of available seats.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of the layout information 124 corresponding to the floor layout FR shown in FIG. A floor layout FR shown in FIG. 10 shows a floor layout different from the floor layout FR shown in FIG. 5 for the floor R001. In the floor layout FR shown in FIG. 10, the table images T3 and T4 are connected to each other, the table images T7 and T8 are connected to each other, the table images T9 and T10 are connected to each other, and the table image T13 is added. Has been. In the layout information 124 shown in FIG. 11, the total available seat number “6” of the table numbers “3” and “4” is registered, and the total available seat number “6” of the table numbers “7” and “8”. 6 ”is registered, and the total number of available seats“ 8 ”of the table numbers“ 9 ”and“ 10 ”is registered. Also, the table information of the table number “13” is registered. In the floor layout FR shown in FIG. 10, “49” is registered as the total number of available seats.

  For example, in the floor layout FR shown in FIG. 5, when the table image T9 or the table image T10 is moved so that the interval between the table image T9 and the table image T10 becomes smaller than a predetermined value, the seat number calculation processing unit 116 The number of seats (here “4”) corresponding to the seat image associated with the table image T9 displayed on the screen P2 and the number of seats (here “6”) corresponding to the seat image associated with the table image T10 are displayed. The remaining number of connected seats (“8”) obtained by subtracting the number of seats (“2”) corresponding to the seat image located between the table image T9 and the table image T10 from the total number of seats (“10”). As the number of seats available to customers in the tables corresponding to the table image T9 and the table image T10, the layout information 124 ( It is registered in the 11 reference). As described above, when the table image T9 and the table image T10 are connected on the layout screen P2, the seat number calculation processing unit 116 uses the number of seats (available seat number) of the table image T9 and the table in the layout information 124. The number of seats (number of available seats) in the image T10 is updated to the number of connected seats. As shown in FIG. 11, the seat number calculation processing unit 116 includes, in the layout information 124, table identification information (for example, table number “9”) corresponding to the table image T9 and a table corresponding to the table image T10. The identification information (for example, table number “10”) may be updated to the identification information for the linked table (for example, table number “9 · 10”).

  Further, the table display processing unit 113 may display the concatenated table image corresponding to the concatenated table on the layout screen P2 in a display mode different from other table images. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the table display processing unit 113 displays the boundary portion of the linked table image with a dotted line, and displays the table number with the identification information of the linked table.

  According to the floor layout creation device 1 according to the present embodiment, the component image 122 including the table image associated with the seat image is displayed on the display screen of the operation display unit 13, and an operation for selecting the component image 122 is performed. The table image is arranged on the floor image SP1 on the layout screen P2 (for example, by drag and drop operation), and the seat image corresponding to the seat that can be used by the customer in the table corresponding to the table image is appropriately displayed on the floor image SP1. Can be arranged. Therefore, the floor layout FR can be easily created, and the exact number of seats can be grasped when the floor layout FR is created.

  The floor layout creation device 1 executes the floor layout creation process based on the user's operation at a user's desired timing. For example, the floor layout creation device 1 may execute the floor layout creation processing when a store is newly established, or may execute the floor layout creation processing when the store is operating. For example, the floor layout creation process may be executed when a table is temporarily combined or a combined table is released at a store in operation. In addition, the floor layout creation process may be executed when it is necessary to change the floor layout FR in accordance with the reservation status of the store in an operating store. For example, when the floor R001 of the store SP001 is laid out in accordance with the floor layout FR shown in FIG. 5, when the store terminal (not shown) accepts a reservation for a group of 8 people, the floor layout creation device 1 Creates a floor layout FR shown in FIG. 10 based on a user operation (an operation for connecting the table images T9 and T10, etc.). Note that the floor layout creation device 1 may have a function for proposing an efficient table arrangement based on the reservation status. As described above, the floor layout creation device 1 according to the present embodiment is configured so that the user can use it at a desired timing, for example, when creating a floor layout as a default or changing the created floor layout. Yes.

  Here, when the table image selected by the user on the setting screen P1 (see FIG. 4) corresponds to a table (table image C1 or the like) having an outer shape of a circle (including an ellipse), the floor layout creation device 1 (See FIG. 13). For example, the element interval calculation processing unit 114, between adjacent table images, between the intersection of center lines passing from the center of each table image to the center of the seat image and the intersection of the center line and the outer periphery of the table image. The sum of the distances is calculated. For example, in FIG. 13A, the element interval calculation processing unit 114 calculates, in the table images T20 and T21, the intersection of center lines passing from the center of each table image to the center of the seat image, and the center line and the outer periphery of the table image. A distance E21 obtained by adding the distances E21a and E21b between the intersections is calculated. Similarly, distances E20 and E22 are calculated.

  As illustrated in FIG. 13A, when the distance E20 is equal to or greater than the first predetermined value, the table display processing unit 113 displays all seat images associated with the table images T20 and T21. Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, when the distance E20 is smaller than the first predetermined value and equal to or larger than the second predetermined value, the table display processing unit 113 determines that the distance between the table images T20 and T21 corresponding to the distance E20. One seat image of the table image T20 located at is deleted. Further, as shown in FIG. 13C, when the distance E20 is smaller than the second predetermined value, the table display processing unit 113 corresponds to the distance E20, and one seat of the table image T20 located between the table images T20 and T21. One seat image of the image and the table image T21 is deleted.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13C, when the distance E21 is smaller than the third predetermined value, the table display processing unit 113 corresponds to the distance E21 and one seat of the table image T20 located between the table images T20 and T21. Delete the image. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 13C, when the distance E22 is smaller than the third predetermined value, the table display processing unit 113 selects one of the table images T20 located between the table images T20 and T21 corresponding to the distance E22. Delete one seat image. The third predetermined value may be the same as or different from the first predetermined value. Each processing of the element interval calculation processing unit 114 and the table display processing unit 113 when the table image is a circle is not limited to the above-described processing, and may be other processing.

[Modification]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described configuration. In another embodiment, when a table image is arranged on the floor image SP1 of the layout screen P2, at least one seat image is deleted (hidden) from among seat images for the number of seats associated with the table image. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14, the table display processing unit 113 displays the deleted seat image on the layout screen P2 in a display mode (for example, dotted line, red color, etc.) different from other seat images. Further, the table display processing unit 113 displays the table image including the seat image to be deleted on the layout screen P2 in a display mode (for example, hatching, blue, etc.) different from the other table images. Thereby, the user can easily recognize the position of the seat image to be deleted and the table image in which the number of available seats is less than the number of seats. In addition, when the seat image is switched between the non-display state and the display state according to the movement of the table image by the user's operation, the table display processing unit 113 may switch the display mode of the table image.

  In the above description, one seat corresponds to a chair for one person, but one seat may be a chair for a plurality of persons (chaise longue, L-shaped chair, etc.). Therefore, the number of seats (or the number of available seats) of the table described above indicates the number of customers who can use the table, and may be different from the number of chairs. For example, in the table image T30 illustrated in FIG. 15A, an image of a chaise lounge for two people is associated with the upper side and the lower side, and a chair for one person is associated with the left side and the right side. That is, the table image T30 illustrated in FIG. 15A corresponds to a table for six people, and the number of available seats is “6”. When the table image T30 is arranged at the position of the table number “2” on the layout screen P2 shown in FIG. 5, the table display processing unit 113 displays the seat image D1 of the chaise longue for two people as shown in FIG. 15B. It changes into the seat image D2 of the chair for one person, and displays it.
