Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily perform a comprehensive processing or check for the value of an attribute, by applying the comprehensive management of the attribute for the constituent of a circuit diagram and a restrictive condition for the value taken by the attribute as an attribute managing list. CONSTITUTION:Assuming that a user selects one of the constituents 7 of the circuit diagram 6 to which the user desires to input the attribute, an attribute individual list generating means refers to the attribute managing list 1 of a group to which the constituent 7 belongs from an attribute managing list storage means 2, and decides whether the attribute to be taken out exists, and when it exists, it indicates the value possible to be taken by the attribute to the user by referring to the list for a taken out attribute. When the user inputs the value of the attribute according to the above indication, the value of the attribute is stored in a corresponding attribute individual list 8, and after that, the restrictive condition is checked by referring to the list 1, and if the correct result of the check is obtained, the next attribute is taken out.

Component 7 of circuit diagram 6 for which the user wants to input attributes is 1
If one is selected (step 31), the attribute individual list creation means 3 refers to the attribute management list 1 of the group to which the selected component 7 belongs from the attribute management list storage means 2 (step 32), and One standard attribute that requires input from the user is extracted from list l (step 33).

Next, it is determined whether or not there is an attribute to be extracted (step 34), and if there is an attribute to be extracted, the attribute management list l is referred to for the extracted attribute to determine the possible value (for example, a numerical value) of the attribute.

(selection formula, etc.) to the user (step 35).

When the user follows the instructions and enters the attribute value (step 3
6) The attribute individual list creation means 3 stores the input attribute value in the corresponding attribute individual list 8 (step 37).
Next, the attribute individual list checking means 4 checks the attribute values stored in the attribute individual list 8 with reference to the constraint conditions (for example, maximum number of digits, invalid character input, etc.) of the attribute management list 1 (step 38) If the check result is correct, return to step 32 and refer to attribute management list 1 to extract the next attribute. If the result of the check is incorrect, the process returns to step 35 and the possible values of the attribute are again instructed to the user.

If there are no more attributes to extract in the judgment of step 34,
The process ends, and a state awaits a new selection of the component 7 of the circuit diagram 6 by the user.
