Has been realized. A code number is assigned to each vehicle type, part, repair work item, parts, combination of paint color system / paint system, and painting work item to facilitate handling such as input selection.

The concept of the site introduced by the present invention will be described. The car repair cost calculation device of the present invention enables a cost estimate to be calculated quickly and accurately for a person who has practical experience in restoration and repair of a car body or an operator who has basic knowledge about it. Therefore, the concept of a unique part is adopted in the present invention.

The part is based on the relational concept that, in the present embodiment, a limited part of the automobile body appears as a part with respect to the active work of repair work. For example, the front bumper part is not regarded as a set of individual parts such as bumper faces, bumper moldings and bumper stays, but as a relational concept that appears when performing (thinking) the work of replacing the front bumper.

Repair work items A1 to An, B1 to Bn, C1 to Cn,
.. corresponding to the parts A, B, C, ... Necessary when performing the repair work. This is as shown in FIG.

In the present invention, the concept of a part is positively used as an intermediate term of an individual vehicle type, an individual work item, and an individual part, that is, a hierarchy. The relational concept of parts is used as a kind of hierarchical concept for organizing the data of work items and parts by vehicle type, and is further used to configure the screen display of the display unit 4 and the operation method of the input unit 6. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the parts A, B, and C are included in correspondence with the vehicle type x, and the repair work item A is included in one of the parts A, B, and C, for example.
1-An and parts A1-An corresponding to each work item are hierarchized and systematized. In this way, a large amount of precise data stored in the recording medium 1 can be searched and processed for comfortable and comfortable operation. Basically, repair work items and parts data are selected for each part. Provide screen display and operation method. This part has, for example, the structure shown in Table 1.
