In the present embodiment, in the case of PDF data, the display data for displaying the device table is used to analyze the correspondence between the setting items in the device table and the setting item data to determine the setting items. Read the corresponding setting item data. For example, the installed line is distinguished by the line representing the row, and the setting items are distinguished by the line representing the column. In addition, when it is created by spreadsheet software or the like, the configuration of the device table is clear, and the correspondence between the setting items and the setting item data may be read.

The settable device information storage unit 5 is classified by the device information input device 1 so that the settable devices that can be set by the user have common settable items to be set. The settable items to be set are stored.

In general, devices used for construction have the same substantial items that should be defined as specifications, even though there are various expressions in form. Therefore, the type name of the device table data storage unit 3 and each type of the settable device information storage unit 5 can be associated one-to-one. Further, the setting items of the device table in the device table data storage unit 3 and the settable items to be set for each type stored in the settable device information storage unit 5 can be associated one-to-one. Therefore, the type name of the device table data storage unit 3 and the type name of each type of the settable device information storage unit 5 and the setting item and the settable item are easily associated with each other by, for example, holding synonym data. be able to. Moreover, since the format of the device table is generally used repeatedly, it is possible to prepare a plurality of patterns of correspondence relationships in advance, and select or modify them to associate them. For example, an example of the correspondence between setting items and settable items will be described. In the setting items of the equipment table data, which are the type names of “water tanks”, the order of items is material, effective capacity, and dimension, whereas in the configurable items stored in the configurable equipment information storage unit 7, the dimensions, In the order of material and effective capacity, use the same item name. That is, each settable item stored in the product-specific setting device item name storage unit 7 is associated with the third, first, and second data in the device table.

Note that, for example, *1 in Fig. 3(a) and *2 and *3 in Fig. 3(b) are considered as titles indicating the properties of the device from the next line to the blank line, so It is added as device information. If the other items are blank in the remarks column and the other items are not blank, they are added to the remarks column of the line above and used as data. Also, ignore simple blank lines. If the width (thickness/thinness) of the ruled line indicates the information delimiter, the ruled line is also a determination condition.

The display device 7 is a display or the like, and displays the type table and the device table under the control of the type table display unit 11 and the device table data display unit 13. 4 to 9 show display examples on the display device 7.

The type table management unit 9 manages the type table. The type table classifies the settable devices specified by the user with common settable items, and shows the correspondence between multiple settable items and the settable item data corresponding to each settable item. It is a table shown. Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 10, settable items and settable item data have been displayed for each device.

The estimated amount calculation unit 25 uses the data stored in the settable device item data storage unit 21 to calculate an estimated amount of cost required for installation work of the device.

FIG. 2A is a flowchart showing an example of processing for adding a type table according to an instruction from the user. The user selects one type name from the list of type names of the settable devices and gives an instruction to add a type (step STC1). The type table management unit 9 determines whether or not a new type is selected (step STC2). When a new type is selected, a type table corresponding to the selected type is added and this type table is displayed (step STC3). When the selected type is not a new type, the type table of the selected type is displayed.

FIG. 2B is a flowchart showing an example of processing for adding a settable device to the type table according to an instruction from the user. The user selects one name from the list of names of the settable devices and gives an instruction to add this settable device (step STD1). The type table management unit 9 determines whether the type to which the selected settable device belongs is new (step STD2). If it is a new type, a type table corresponding to this type is added (step STD3), and a settable device is added (step STD4). If the type to which the selected settable device belongs is not new, the settable device is added to the type table of the type to which this settable device belongs (step STD4).

FIG. 2C is a flowchart showing an example of a process of inputting the settable item data of the settable device by the item data input unit 23.

The user designates the column of the type table on the display screen (step ST1). The copy processing unit 15 holds the value of the designated device table data and determines the designated type table (step ST2). In the case of automatic addition, the type table, the settable device, and the settable item data are automatically added by the type designation unit 17. If the type table already exists, the device designation unit 19 automatically adds the settable device and the settable item data. If the device is a settable device that already exists, the device designating unit 19 automatically adds the settable item data. The analysis of the correspondence may be performed in advance so that the user specifies it in advance.

First, the case of the automatic addition column will be described. The copy processing unit 15 holds the type name and the setting item and setting item data in the device table for one of the device tables designated by the user (step ST3). The type designation unit 17 identifies the type of the settable item corresponding to the type name of the device table and adds the type table (step ST4). If the type table already exists, it is highly likely that one of the device tables has been added, so confirm with the user whether to add a device that can be set and If the addition is instructed, the settable device may be added to the existing type table. Then, the type designation unit 17 analyzes the correspondence between the setting items and the settable items in the device table (step ST5). The type designation unit 17 adds a settable device and rearranges the order of the setting item data by using the correspondence to make the settable item data corresponding to the settable item (step ST6). Here, unlike general copy-and-paste processing, rearrangement is performed using the correspondence relationship between setting items and settable items.

Next, the case of the type table will be described. The copy processing unit 15 holds the setting item and the setting item data in the device table for one of the device tables designated by the user (step ST7). Subsequently, the device designation unit 19 analyzes the correspondence between the setting items and the settable items in the device table (step ST8). The device designating unit 19 adds the settable device and rearranges the order of the setting item data by using the correspondence to obtain the settable item data corresponding to the settable item (step ST9).

Next, the case of a configurable device will be described. The copy processing unit 15 holds the setting item data of one device in the device list designated by the user (step ST10). At this time, the setting item corresponding to the specified setting item data is also held. Then, the device designation unit 19 analyzes the correspondence between the setting items and the settable items in the device table (step ST11). The type designation unit 17 rearranges the order of the setting item data using the correspondence relationship with respect to the settable device designated by the user, and sets the settable item data corresponding to the settable item (step ST12).
