DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an office planning apparatus used for office planning.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Cases in which a relatively large organization such as a company is located on a plurality of floors of an office building are often seen. In such a case, the organization usually has many departments such as general affairs, human resources, sales departments, and various manufacturing departments, and the proximity and distant relationships between departments are diversified. is there. For this reason, if the vertical zoning work of allocating each department along the hierarchy of the office building is performed without any consideration, the departments that desire a close relationship are greatly separated from each other at the top and bottom of the building, and communication becomes difficult. Inconveniences occur, for example, it is difficult to obtain a department, or conversely, departments that desire a distant relationship are assigned to the same floor.

Therefore, recent office planning is
There is a tendency to investigate the strength of the relationship between departments and summarize them as a certain value, and to proceed with the placement work while quantitatively grasping the relationship between the departments based on the value.

[0004]

However, the divisions are tied to each other by a complicated causal relationship of close proximity and distantness. Therefore, it is only necessary to pay attention to only two divisions and change the arrangement to a desirable arrangement. Relationship is ignored. For this reason, in order to reach a desired arrangement, it is necessary to repeat a correction operation such as a puzzle in which estrangement and proximity are repeated. On the other hand, each department has its own requirements for floor-to-use area, and if the work is carried out only by focusing on the proximity and distant relations, the available floor area of each floor and the actual allocated There is a possibility that the sum of the required area of the departments will be greatly different, and the work up to that point may not be meaningful at all. However, if you try to do the work only by hand using paper and pencil while considering these, it will be difficult to grasp the whole, it will not be easy to find clues for correction, and the more departments A huge amount of rewriting is required every time a rearrangement is made, and it is impossible to know the right or wrong of the rearrangement until the rewriting is completed. become.

[0005] It is an object of the present invention to provide an office planning apparatus capable of giving rationality to such a vertical zoning operation.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following configuration.

That is, in the office planning apparatus according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a department information storage means b, a correlation storage means c, and an array storage means are provided in front of a background screen a displayed on a display. A front screen f constituted by d and display means e is displayed in a superimposed manner, and the contents of the front screen f can be changed by an arrangement changing operation means g. In the background screen a, a plurality of section display positions i are set in the X-axis direction, an area display area j is provided at the center in the Y-axis direction, and a proximity display area k or an alienation display area 1 is provided on both sides thereof. In the area display area j, an amount m corresponding to the available floor area for each floor of the office building is displayed in the Y-axis direction. In the section information storage means b, a section required area o for each section n is stored in association with the section n, and in the correlation storage means c, the proximity or distant degree set between the sections n is stored. Corresponding correlation values p and q are stored in association with the department n, and the array storage means d stores an array r for ordering the departments n stored in the department information storage means b.
And a hierarchical division position s for associating the array r with the hierarchy of the office building. The display means e
The front screen f is configured so that the department array r stored in the array storage means d corresponds to the department display position i in the X-axis direction on the background screen a. That is, after the display t relating to the hierarchical division position s is added between the predetermined division display positions i, the division area extracted from the division information storage means b for each division display position i is displayed on the area display area j. The corresponding amount u is displayed in the Y-axis direction, and the amount v corresponding to the sum of the section required areas of the respective sections n distributed on the same floor is displayed in the Y-axis direction. Correlation lines w and z corresponding to correlation values p and q extracted from the correlation storage means c are displayed on the display area l as a bridge between the department display positions i along the X-axis direction. The arrangement change operation means g can rewrite the department arrangement r in the arrangement storage means d in relation to the hierarchical division position s. Then, when the contents of the array storage means d are rewritten by the array change operation means g, the display means e updates the front screen f based on the new array r.

As a specific mode of the arrangement changing operation means, there is an arrangement in which an arbitrary department is selected and the current department can be moved step by step to another target department. In this case, more preferably, the array changing operation means can sequentially rewrite the contents of the array storage means during the moving operation, and the display means interlocks with the correlation line and the alienation on the proximity display area. It is desirable that the correlation line on the display area can be sequentially updated at each step, and that the array changing operation means can rewrite the contents of the array memory means during the moving operation. It is desirable that the display means be configured so that the display on the area display area can be partially updated successively at each stage in conjunction with this.

[0009] As a preferable mode for constructing a screen which is easily recognizable, an amount corresponding to a section required area is displayed in a bar graph, or a sum corresponding to an available floor area for each floor and a total of section areas. , The amount corresponding to is represented by an area line parallel to the X axis on the Y coordinate,
A neutral line parallel to the X axis is set at the center of the area display area, and from the neutral line, an amount corresponding to the section required area, an amount corresponding to the available floor area for each floor, and a section area for each floor Are displayed in pairs on the side of the proximity display area and on the side of the distantness display area, and the bar graph shows colors, patterns, gradations that can be identified for each section. Alternatively, a combination represented by a combination thereof, a division display position clearly indicated by a grid or a mark, or the like may be used.

In the case where the degree of proximity is of two types, that is, one-sided proximity or phase proximity, it is preferable that the correlation line in the proximity display area is correspondingly represented by different line types that can be identified. When two types are used, i.e., one-sided or one-sided, the correlation line in the distantness display area is preferably represented by different line types that can be identified.

In order that the display contents of the front screen can be grasped more specifically, the display means can display the department names in parallel with the hierarchical division positions on the front screen along the department arrangement, or It is effective that the total sum of the section required areas of the sections distributed to each floor can be displayed in parallel on the front screen by numerical values corresponding to the usable floor area of the floor.

In order to carry out the preparatory work in advance, it is preferable to provide input means for inputting initial data to the department information storage means, correlation storage means and array storage means.

In order to flexibly allocate the departments to the respective layers, it is desirable that the input means be able to modify at least the required department area of the department information storage means.

It is more preferable that the input means can simultaneously input data necessary for forming a background screen.

[0015]

In the front screen f constituted and displayed by the display means e, each department n along the department array r in the current array storage means c is made to correspond to the department display position i in the X-axis direction. Since the required location between n is marked with the hierarchical division position display t, it is possible to know from what location of department n to which floor is allocated to the office building. On the front screen f, an amount v corresponding to the sum of the section required areas of the sections n distributed to each floor on the area display area j is displayed in the Y-axis direction, while the background screen a is displayed on the background screen a. Since the amount m corresponding to the available floor area of the floor is displayed in the Y-axis direction, those amounts m, v
Can be grasped as to whether the current position of the array r and the hierarchical division display t is appropriate for the area distribution. Moreover, since the quantity u corresponding to the section required area o of each section n is displayed in the Y-axis direction for each section display position i, it is necessary to determine which section n can be moved to which floor to improve the area distribution. It can be used as a guide for judgment. On the other hand, on the front screen f in the proximity display area k, a correlation line w indicating the proximity between the departments n that desire a close relationship with each other is extended in the X-axis direction and is bridged. As the correlation line w extends more than the section division display t, it means that the sections n are further separated from each other on the upper and lower floors of the office building.
For this reason, it can be used as a guide for judging where to move the section n to improve the proximity relationship. Conversely, on the front screen f on the alienation display area l, the correlation line z indicating the alienation extends in the X-axis direction and is bridged between the departments n. It can be regarded that the more distant the relationship between the departments n is, the longer the number of times t extends. As described above, from the front screen f, whether or not the current department array r satisfies the actual office building area condition, and whether the current department array r has the close or distant relationship existing between the departments o, is displayed. You can see at a glance whether or not you are satisfied.

Next, when the arrangement change operation means g is operated from such a state to rewrite the contents of the arrangement storage means d,
The display means e updates the above-described front screen f according to the new department arrangement r. At this time, the background screen a
The display of the quantity m corresponding to the usable floor area for each floor in is fixed. Then, in the new front screen f, the section n relating to the new array r changed by the operation is sequentially made to correspond to the section display position i, and the hierarchical division display t also becomes a new one. The display positions of u and v and the display positions of correlation lines w and z also change in conjunction with each other. By comparing these area display amounts u and v and the correlation lines w and z with those on the front screen f before the operation, it is possible to know whether or not the area condition and the correlation have been improved.

As described above, the office planning apparatus appropriately determines whether or not the current department arrangement is appropriate, gives an idea of a location to be corrected, and clearly determines whether or not the correction is appropriate. And since it can be judged immediately,
Simple and rational operation becomes possible, and the vertical zoning operation can be steadily converged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 2 shows a microcomputer system H which constitutes the office planning apparatus. A memory h1 serving as department information storage means, correlation storage means and array storage means, and a memory h1 serving as display means. A CRT display h6 and a processor h2 which play a role; a keyboard h4 and a mouse h5 which play a role as an array changing operation means and data input means; and an interface which controls the input and output of the processor h2. And a face h3. The memory h1 stores a program for operating the processor h2 in accordance with the procedure relating to office planning. The processor h2 transmits and receives data to and from the memory h1 according to the program, and the data is displayed on the CRT display h6. , A background screen is displayed, and a front screen is superimposed on the front screen.

Initial data is input to the microcomputer system H before the vertical zoning operation is performed. Prior to this, an investigation sheet S as shown in FIG. -Distribute to each department to be subject to ticcal zoning, and request entry of what kind of positional relationship the department wants with other departments. In this case, if a near position is desired, "+" is entered, and if a far position is desired, "-" is entered. Then, when the departments want a position close to each other, they have a close proximity relationship (++), when one of the departments wants a near position, one-sided proximity relationship (+), or one wants a close relationship and the other is far. A reciprocal relationship (+-) if a relationship is desired, a heavily distant relationship (-) if one of the departments wants a distant location, or a distant relationship if the departments want a location far from each other. Each correlation value of (−−) is given. When such a survey is conducted, the required area of each department is submitted.

After such an investigation is completed, the keyboard h
The data input operation to the memory h1 is performed by using 4 and the like. First, as the department information, the general affairs department involved in the above-mentioned survey,
The department names such as the accounting department and the personnel department are registered, and then the correlation values (++) to (−−) existing between the specific departments and the required area required by each department are input. In addition, before and after these, the first floor of the office building where the organization intends to move in
The usable floor area of each floor up to 6F is also input. At this time, the departments are input in an appropriate arrangement, and the arrangement is made to correspond to the temporary office building floor. As a result of the input operation as described above, the memory h1 stores the office floors 1F to 6F and their usable floor areas in the area corresponding to the property information, and stores each section in the area corresponding to the section information. The required area of the department is stored in association with the department,
In the area corresponding to the correlation, the correlation value is stored in association with the department, and in the area corresponding to the array, the initial array and the relationship between the array and each of the levels 1 to 6f of the office building 1 are stored.

When the above input is completed, the processor h2 first displays the background screen 1 of the full screen display shown in FIG. This background screen 1
, A plurality of department display positions 1 at equal intervals in the X-axis direction.
1 is formed by being partitioned by a grid 11a, an area display area 12 is provided at the center in the Y-axis direction, and a proximity display area 13 and an alienation display area 14 are provided above and below the area display area 12, respectively. At the center of the area display area 12, a neutral line 12a parallel to the X axis is drawn. And
In this area display area 12, each floor of the office building 1F to 6
The usable floor area for each F is X on a predetermined Y coordinate.
A pair of upper and lower area lines 14a, 14b, 14c parallel to the axis,
Displayed at 14d, 14e, 14f.

Next, the processor h2 superimposes and displays the front screen 2 on the front of the background screen 1. In the front screen 2, first, the departments stored in the memory h1 are arranged in the array in correspondence with the respective department display positions 11 in the X-axis direction, and the department display corresponding to the currently set hierarchical division position is performed. Between the positions 11, the hierarchical division lines 21a, 21b,
21c, 21d, and 21e are displayed. Then, for the area display area 12, the required area for each section is taken out of the memory h1 for each section display position 11 and converted into various bar graphs 22 of corresponding lengths, and goes up and down the neutral line 12a. Is displayed. The bar graphs 22 are colored and patterned for each section so that they can be distinguished from each other. Bar graph 2 of each section distributed on the same floor
A pair of area lines 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d, and 23e are displayed above and below the neutral line 12a corresponding to the sum of the lengths of the two. On the other hand, on the proximity display area 13, correlation lines 24a and 24b corresponding to correlation values of phase proximity (++) and partial proximity (+) taken out from the memory h1 are displayed along the X-axis direction. The correlation lines 25a and 25b corresponding to the correlation values of the relative distant (−−) and the partial distant (−) extracted from the memory h1 are displayed along the X-axis direction on the distantness display area 14. The relevant department display position 1
One is displayed as a bridge. The correlation line 24c corresponding to the reciprocal (+-) correlation value is also displayed on the proximity display area 13, but is not displayed here because there is no corresponding relationship.

Thus, the front screen 2 is completed. Then, on this front screen 2, the mouse h5
Bar graph 2 showing the required area of a specific department by operating
2 is selected, and the bar graph 22 is displayed in the hierarchical division lines 21a to 21a.
It is possible to move between departments on other floors beyond 1e (of course, it is not necessary to do so). At this time, the memory h1
In the region corresponding to the array in
The contents of the array are rewritten each time the signal crosses a. Correlation lines 24a, 24b, and 24c on the proximity display area 13 and correlation on the distantness display area 14 of the front screen 2 are linked to this. Only the lines 25a and 25b are partially updated successively in a state where the other front screen display is reserved. Therefore, the bar graph 2 in the middle of the operation
Correlation lines 24 a, 24 b, 24 c, 24 d, and 24 e radiating radially from 2 toward another section display position 11 change every moment in conjunction with the movement operation of the bar graph 22. When the operation is completed and the destination of the department is determined by the mouse h5, the entire front screen 2 is updated again through the same process as described above.

The bar graph 26 at the left end of each floor in the area display area 12 corresponds to the area allocated to a department other than a section, such as a dining room or a boardroom. These are fixed in principle, but can be increased or decreased as necessary when it is difficult to adjust the required area of each department. Further, below the background screen 1, a section column 15 for displaying the section names corresponding to the arrangement in relation to the hierarchy is additionally provided.
F to 6F and the department name are superimposed. further,
On the right side of the background screen 1, an area display column 16 for numerically displaying the sum of the required area of the section on each floor in relation to the available floor area of the floor is additionally provided. Are superimposed and displayed on the front screen 2 with the layers 1F to 6F and necessary numerical values.

Thus, on the front screen 2, each section is made to correspond to the section display position 11 in the X-axis direction along the current section arrangement, and hierarchical division lines 21a to 21e are provided at required places between the sections. Since the information is displayed, it is possible to know from where to which department is assigned to which floor of the office building. On the area display area 12 of the front screen 2, area lines 23a to 23f indicating the sum of the required area of each section distributed to each floor are displayed in the Y-axis direction. Since the area lines 14a to 14f indicating the usable floor area of the floor are displayed in the Y-axis direction, the area lines 23a to 23f and 14a
It is possible to grasp whether or not the current position of the hierarchical section forming line 21a is appropriate in terms of area distribution by associating with the numbers 14f. In addition, since the bar graph 22 indicating the required area of the section is clearly displayed in the vertical direction in each section display position 11, it is possible to determine which section should be moved to which hierarchy to improve the area distribution. Can be. On the other hand, in the proximity display area 12 of the front screen 2, the correlation lines 24a and 24b indicating the proximity state extend in the X-axis direction and are bridged between the section display positions 11. At this time, the more the correlation lines 24a and 24b extend beyond the section division line 21a, the more the sections are separated from each other on the upper and lower floors of the office building. Therefore, it can be used as a guide for determining how to move the department to improve the correlation. Conversely, in the distantness display area 14, since the correlation lines 25a and 25b indicating the sparseness state extend in the X-axis direction and are bridged between the department display positions 11,
The more the correlation lines 25a and 25b extend beyond the section division line 21a, the more satisfactory the correlation between sections can be regarded as an arrangement. In this way,
On the front screen 2, whether or not the actual assignment of each section to each floor 1 to 6F of the office along the current section arrangement satisfies the area condition, and the proximity or distant relation existing between the sections At a glance whether or not the condition is satisfied.

Next, in such a state, by operating the mouse h5 to select the bar graph 22 corresponding to the required area of the specific section and moving it to, for example, another floor, the grid 11a is moved during the moving operation. Each time the bar graph 22 is exceeded
, The correlation lines 24a, 24b, 24c, 25a, and 25b radially extending toward the other section display positions 11 change in conjunction with each other. For this reason, the mouse h5 can be arbitrarily moved until the operation is confirmed, and a suitable arrangement can be searched for. And the movement is mouse h
Once confirmed by 5, processor h2 will update all front screens according to its department arrangement. At this time, the area lines 14a to 14f for each floor on the background screen 1 are fixed. Then, in the new front screen 2, the departments are assigned to the respective department display positions 11 according to the new arrangement, and the hierarchical division lines 21a to 21e are formed.
Is also new, so that the displays on the area display area 12, the proximity display area 13, and the alienation display area 14 also change in conjunction with each other. By comparing the contents displayed in these display areas with those on the front screen 2 before, it is possible to know whether or not the area condition has been improved in addition to the correlation that can be visually recognized during the operation. .

As described above, the office planning apparatus appropriately determines whether or not the current department arrangement is appropriate, gives an idea of a place to be corrected, and clearly and clearly determines whether or not the correction is appropriate. Because you can judge immediately,
With the simple and rational operation, the vertical zoning operation can be steadily converged.

It should be noted that the neutral line 12a is not necessarily provided, and the bar graph 22, the area lines 14a to 24f, and the area lines 23a to 23f may rise only upward or downward from a single line. However, if the neutral line 12a is provided, the area display area 12 and the correlation lines 24a, 24b, 24c,
Since sufficient space is always ensured between 5a and 25b, it is excellent in that the screen can be easily viewed. Other configurations are not limited only to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0030]

Since the office planning apparatus according to the present invention has the configuration as described above, it is possible to accurately judge whether or not the current department arrangement is appropriate, to give an indication of a location to be corrected next, and to correct the correction. Can be clearly and immediately determined as to whether or not is appropriate. Therefore, the vertical zoning operation can be steadily converged through a simple and rational operation.
