FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of the equipment space storage table 23. As shown in this figure, the equipment space storage table 23 manages the space occupied by each equipment provided in the organization to be laid out by the size representation of a rectangular frame,
A configuration such as a laptop personal computer which is placed on a desk is managed as having no space. The number of installed OA devices in the equipment space storage table 23 is managed by the OA device number storage table 21 as described above, and the installed number of shared facilities is managed by the shared facility number storage table 22. On the other hand, the number of personal facilities such as managerial desks to be installed is uniquely determined by the number of personnel in the organization personnel number storage table 20. The data stored in the organization personnel number storage table 20, the OA equipment number storage table 21, the common equipment number storage table 22 and the equipment space storage table 23 are stored by the office planning planner before the layout process. It is to be keyed in advance.

As described with reference to FIG. 1, in the present invention, the shape of the office to be processed is set to one or a plurality of specific ones in order to limit the number of layout rules so that the layout processing can be realized. In addition to the regulation, the office division pattern that regulates the arrangement position of the facilities in the regulated office shape is prepared. The office section pattern management table 24 manages the definition of the office shape and the definition of the office section pattern. FIG. 4 shows an example of the definition of the office shape managed by the office division pattern management table 24.
Further, FIG. 5 shows an example of the definition of the office division pattern. The present invention does not allow layout processing for offices of all shapes.
Limited to the rectangle shown in FIG. 4 (a), the L shape shown in FIG. 4 (b) (hereinafter referred to as LL type), and the L shape shown in FIG. 4 (c) (hereinafter referred to as LR type). At the same time, the layout processing is not possible for all the layout methods, and the layout of the equipment is executed according to one of a plurality of office division patterns prepared in advance as shown in FIG. By doing so, the layout processing algorithm is realized.

As shown in FIG. 4, for example, the rectangular shape, the LL type, and the LR type are selected as the office shape because it fits well with the current office shape. Therefore, when trying to execute layout processing for an office that does not meet these shapes, it is necessary to divide the office into these shapes and execute layout processing for the divided offices. Will come. Also,
A plurality of office division patterns are prepared for each office shape, and are configured to meet the demands of various office planning planners.

Next, the operation processing of the present invention thus configured will be described according to the flowchart executed by the layout processing apparatus main body 1.

FIG. 6 shows an overall flowchart of the processing of the present invention. In order to start the layout process of the facilities of the organization to be laid out, the office data setting unit 25 first
As shown in step 1 of the flowchart of FIG. 6, the setting process of the shape and size of the office is executed. That is, the office shape setting screen is displayed on the office data setting screen 40a and the input processing from the planner of the office planning is accepted to execute the office shape and size setting processing. FIG. 7 shows a detailed flowchart of this step 1. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, the office shape and size setting process displays an office shape setting screen as shown in FIG. 8 and prompts the planner to select an office shape according to the cursor or the like. Then, while interacting with the planner, the input of the length of each side of the selected office shape is accepted, and finally, the type information and the size information of the input office shape are stored in the office data storage table 26. It will be executed by storing in.

The layout processing unit 15 is an office data storage table.
When the size information of the set office is received via 26, as shown in step 2 of the flowchart of FIG. 6, the office space required for the organization to be laid out and the input office. It is determined whether or not the layout is possible in space by comparing the size information with the size information. Here, the calculation of the required office space is executed by using the storage data of the organization personnel number storage table 20, the OA equipment number storage table 21, the common equipment number storage table 22 and the equipment space storage table 23. When it is determined in step 2 that the layout is impossible due to space, the layout processing unit 15 proceeds to step 3 to display an error message on the office shape setting screen via the office data setting unit 25. It is displayed to notify the planner of the office planning performing the input process to that effect.

When there is no error notification from the layout processing unit 15, the office data setting unit 25 executes the setting process of the office division pattern in the following step 4. That is,
The office partition pattern setting screen is displayed on the office data setting screen 40a, and the office partition pattern setting processing is executed by receiving the input processing from the planner of the office planning, and the setting information is stored in the office data storage table 26. Store. FIG. 9 schematically shows the processing contents of step 4 while taking the LL type office shape as an example. As shown in this figure, a plurality of office division patterns are displayed according to a hierarchical structure and the planner is allowed to select the processing so that the office division pattern used for the layout is set. In FIG. 9, according to the display process of the first step, when the office division pattern of only the storage zone (which is the placement zone of the filing locker) is selected to be placed under the general occupation zone, In the second-stage display processing, an example is shown in which office section patterns of arrangement of various shared zones (which are arrangement zones such as a meeting zone) under the arrangement conditions are displayed to allow the planner to select.

When the setting process of the shape and size of the office is completed, the office data setting unit 25 changes the arrangement of the desks according to the type of the desk in the following step 5, "desk arrangement".
It is set whether to use the “organization lineup” in which the arrangement is changed for each section in the organization. In this setting process, the office data setting screen 40a displays a placement method setting screen in which the selection of "desk arrangement" and "organization arrangement" is described, and the planner of the office planning selects it, and the selected setting information is set to the office. It is executed by storing in the data storage table 26.

In this way, when the information necessary for executing the layout process is set, the layout processing unit 15 proceeds to step 6 and the layout rule corresponding to the office division pattern set from the layout rule management table 27. Is read out and the layout process is executed. This layout process refers to the storage data of the organization personnel number storage table 20, OA equipment number storage table 21, shared facility number storage table 22 and facility space storage table 23, and refers to each zone of the set office division pattern. To
It is executed by arranging the corresponding equipments for the specified number of installations.

Next, taking the layout processing for the office division pattern shown in FIG. 5 as an example, the layout processing unit
The details of the layout process executed by 15 will be described.
FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of this layout process.

As shown in step 60 of this flow chart, first, calculate the number of managers, which is the length of managers allocated x manager desk manager, and calculate the calculated value and the length of the office building that has been input. To compare. In the following step 61, if it is judged that the manager's staffing length is longer and it will not enter,
Proceeding to step 62, a message indicating that layout is impossible is displayed. On the other hand, when you decide to enter,
Proceed to step 63, and arrange the filing lockers in the storage zone in order from the left. When it is confirmed in the subsequent step 64 that the filing lockers for the number of installations can be arranged in the storage zone, in the next step 65, a passage is arranged between the general occupation zone and the storage zone.

Next, proceeding to step 66, the number of installed refresh zones, hangers, centralized OAs (locations where OA devices are centrally located), meeting corners, etc. to be placed in the common zone is divided into halves. Then, in the next step 67, the left shared zone is arranged from the left, the right shared zone is arranged from the right, and the refresh zone, hanger, concentrated OA, meeting corners, etc., which are divided in half, are sequentially arranged. However, in the centralized OA arrangement, those used on a desk (such as a laptop word processor) are excluded from the arrangement at this time. When it is confirmed in the next step 68 that these can be placed in the left and right shared zones, the next step 69 is to move between the left and right shared zones if there is a halfway placement. By doing so, the arrangement of this fraction is organized. In addition, even if there is something that can not be placed, such as a meeting corner, which can be placed in the empty space of the managerial zone or general employee zone, even if there is something that can not be placed, this step will not be displayed. Process 69.

Next, proceeding to step 70, the manager desks are arranged in the manager zone in order from the left for the number of installed machines. Then, on the desk of the manager who is placed, OA for the manager used on the desk
Arrange the equipment. When it is confirmed in the subsequent step 71 that the manager desk can be arranged in the manager zone, in the next step 72, a passage is arranged between the manager zone and the general worker zone.

Next, the routine proceeds to step 73, where it is judged from the arrangements so far whether or not the vertical length of the general occupation zone exceeds 6 m, for example. When it is determined in step 73 that the distance does not exceed 6 m, the process proceeds to step 74, and the general work desks are sequentially arranged in the general work zone according to one island arrangement (one island in the vertical direction). . On the other hand, when it is determined that the distance exceeds 6 m, the process proceeds to step 75, where two offices for general work are arranged in the general work zone.
Arrange in order according to the arrangement of two islands). In the arrangements of step 74 and step 75, when the "organization arrangement" is set instead of the "desk arrangement", the department organization etc. of the data read from the organization personnel number storage table 20 is changed and Arrangement will be performed by changing the arrangement of. Then, OA equipment for general employment used on the desk will be arranged on the arranged general employment desk.

If it is confirmed in the next step 76 that general office desks can be placed in the general work zone, in the next step 77, if there are meeting corners etc. that could not be placed in the common zone, those are left over in the general work zone. If there is a meeting corner or the like that could not be arranged even further, the layout is realized by arranging it in the extra space of the managerial zone in the next step 78. continue,
In step 79, the obtained layout data is stored in the layout data storage table 28. Then, finally, a layout evaluation value (for example, the ratio of the layout space to the empty space, the value of the empty space itself, etc.) is calculated according to the empty space, and this evaluation value is stored in the layout evaluation value storage table 29. Ends the process.

In this way, when the layout execution process shown in step 6 of the flowchart of FIG. 6 is completed, the layout display unit 30 displays the office shape on the display screen and the layout data on it in step 7. By doing so, the layout display screen 40b is displayed. FIG. 11 shows an example of the displayed layout display screen 40b. The layout evaluation value is displayed on the layout display screen 40b or on another screen.

As described above, by using the present invention, it becomes possible to automatically lay out the facilities provided by the organization to be laid out in an office of a designated size.

Although the illustrated embodiment has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, although the number of layout rules will increase, it is also possible to prepare a plurality of layout procedures instead of unambiguously defining them and have the planner of the office planning select them from the menu screen. It is possible. By doing so, it is possible to meet more diverse layout requirements. The number of office shapes and the number of office division patterns do not have to be small, and it is preferable to prepare as many as the system allows.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the layout rule required for the office layout can be implemented, so that the office layout process can be automatically realized. And even a non-specialist will be immediately required to layout the office by simply inputting objective data. From now on, it becomes possible to easily carry out a moving plan and a layout change plan of the layout target organization in a short period of time.
