DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wiring system for wiring on a display screen.

[0002] With the spread of communication / information devices in recent years, an integrated wiring system is demanded as a wiring system in a building (a system for designing / managing communication and power supply wiring).
Also, as for the building structure, a movable outlet can be arranged instead of a fixed outlet due to the spread of the OA system having a high degree of freedom in wiring. This means that it is not necessary to define a strict positional relationship on the OA floor, and the entire arrangement relationship is sufficient. Therefore, it is effective to display the entire arrangement relationship on one screen. Thus, when designing and managing the wiring system on a display screen of a personal computer or the like, it is not necessary to use an application such as CAD, and the operability of the software for designing and managing the wiring system can be improved.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional wiring management, manuals are managed by drawings using handwritten data, and MDFs (main wiring boards), IDFs (intermediate wiring boards), and outlets are defined and managed individually. For this reason, the relationship between these elements must be determined by an administrator, and it has been difficult to perform centralized management. For example, it is necessary for the administrator to determine each time whether the number of arranged outlets matches the capacity of the IDF or whether the number of arranged IDFs matches the capacity of the MDF.
In particular, in recent integrated wiring systems, elements required for wiring have been changed in many senses, and conventional integrated management of communication systems and information systems has not been performed.

[0004]

As described above, the conventional wiring system manages each MDF, IDF, and outlet, and the system does not manage the relationship between them. Has to be performed, and the management is extremely complicated, and there is a problem that it is difficult to manage with a recent integrated wiring system. For this reason, when an attempt is made to design and manage a wiring system on a display screen of a personal computer or the like, the contents that can be displayed on one screen are limited. Therefore, only necessary elements are displayed without being limited to this. When arranging the MDF / IDF / outlet, a small object is inserted into a large container (figure) such as a nesting doll (Madrussica) so that more than the object inside cannot be taken out and arranged. It is desired to configure a wiring system that remains on the display screen.

[0005] The present invention solves these problems,
When placing the MDF / IDF / outlet (distribution board / distribution board / outlet, etc.) to be wired on the layout drawing, the lower symbols are displayed in the upper symbols and the lower symbols are to be placed. It is an object of the present invention to design / manage wiring by performing operations such as moving a symbol on a screen by moving the symbol to a position, and arguably by a simple and quick system configuration on a display screen by a simple operation.

[0006]

Means for solving the problem will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 9. 1 and 9, a drawing 71 is a drawing of an arrangement target displayed on the screen of the display 7.

[0007] The symbol MDF is a main wiring board for the symbol, which is displayed at the position indicated on the drawing 71. MDF
The definition information 9 is definition information such as MDF, IDF, and outlet.

[0008] The symbol IDF is a symbol intermediate wiring board displayed at a position indicated on the drawing 71 or the like.
The outlet is an outlet for connecting a terminal, a telephone, and the like.

The symbol distribution board is a symbol distribution board to be displayed at a position designated on the drawing 71. The distribution board definition information 19 is definition information of a distribution board, a distribution board, an outlet, and the like.

The symbol branching board is a symbol branching board displayed at a designated position on the drawing 71 or the like. The outlet is an outlet that supplies power by connecting a terminal or the like.

[0011]

According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the position of the MDF is stored (for example, the MDF definition information 9) in response to the instruction of the position to arrange the MDF on the drawing 71 displayed on the display screen. The MDF symbol is displayed, and the MDF definition information 9 is displayed. When the IDF information is input on the displayed MDF definition information 9, the information of the outlet of the IDF is input. Correspondingly, the input information is registered in the MDF definition information 9,
I try to define it.

Further, based on the MDF definition information 9, the MDF of the symbol is displayed on the drawing 71 displayed on the display screen, and the IDF of the symbol is superimposed by the number of unarranged symbols defined in the MDF of the displayed symbol. The IDF of a symbol in the MDF of an arbitrary symbol is selected and the MDF of the symbol is
The IDF of the symbol is erased from the inside, the IDF of the symbol is displayed at the destination, and the position information is registered.

Also, based on the MDF definition information 9, symbol outlets are superimposed and displayed by the number of unarranged symbols defined in the IDF of symbols arranged on the drawing 71 displayed on the display screen. When the outlet of the symbol in the symbol IDF is selected and the destination is designated, the symbol outlet is deleted from the symbol IDF, the outlet of the symbol is displayed at the destination, and the position information is registered. I am trying to do it.

In step S12, in response to the one-point instruction in step S11, MDF symbols and character data are displayed by default as shown on the right. As described above, for example, in response to designating one point on the drawing 71 (on the plan view of the building) displayed on the display screen of FIG. 3, the MDF symbol and the MDF character data ( For example, an identifier “MDF01” is displayed. As a result, the symbols of the MDF are arranged.

In step S13, MDF definition information is displayed. This displays the MDF definition information 9 in FIG. 2 in addition to displaying the MDF symbol in S12. S14 is S
The IDF information (quantity, type, protocol, etc.) is set on the MDF definition information 9 displayed at 13. This is shown in FIG.
As shown in MDF definition information 9 of IDF01 to IDF01,
F0n (n is a positive integer) n IDFs are set, and the number of outlets of each IDF, a protocol, and the like are set.

In step S15, registration is performed. This saves the contents (IDF information) and the position information set in S14 as MDF definition information 9. In step S16, MDF / IDF symbols and character data are displayed. This is S1
Based on the MDF definition information 9 registered in steps S3 to S15, an IDF symbol and respective character codes (MDF identifier, IDF identifier) are displayed in the MDF symbol as shown on the right side, as shown in the figure. I do.

In step S17 of FIG. 7, the IDF is selected with the mouse. In response to this selection, the color of the selected IDF is changed from pink to red, for example, to highlight the selection. S
18 displays a message (Is this IDF OK?).

A step S19 decides whether or not the designer is OK (whether the left button (positive button) of the mouse is pressed). In the case of YES, the desired IDF has been selected, that is, the IDF having the desired identifier has been selected, and the process proceeds to S21. on the other hand,
In the case of NO, since the desired IDF has not been selected, the IDF is switched in S20, S18 is repeated, and the IDF of the desired identifier is selected.

In step S21, a position for arranging the IDF is specified. In this case, the designer designates the position where the IDF is moved and arranged by clicking with the mouse. In step S22, the IDF is moved to the designated destination. For example, as shown in FIG. 4B, in a state in which a symbol of a desired IDF identifier is selected from among MDF symbols, a position to be arranged is clicked with a mouse to designate a destination. In response to this, as shown in FIG.
01) is moved. At this time, the symbol of IDF01 in the MDF is deleted.

A step S23 displays a message (Is this position OK?). In S24, it is determined whether or not it is OK. YE
In the case of S, the ID extracted from the MDF symbol
Since the symbol F has been moved to the designated desired position, the position information of the IDF is stored in S25, and the process proceeds to S26. On the other hand, in the case of NO, since the IDF could not be moved to the desired position, S21 and the subsequent steps are repeated.

In step S26, it is determined whether or not the entire series of IDF movements has been completed. If YES, the process ends. In the case of NO, S17 and subsequent steps are repeated. By the above,
The MDF definition information 9 is created by setting the MDF layout and the MDF content, and the IDF layout is performed.

FIG. 8 shows a flowchart (outlet arrangement) for explaining the operation of the present invention. This is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 by M
FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a process of creating an MDF definition information 9 by setting a DF layout and MDF content, laying out an IDF, and then laying out an outlet.

In FIG. 8, S31 is an IDF
Select In step S32, the IDF / outlet symbol and character data are displayed. This displays both IDF01 (character data), IDF symbols and outlet symbols, as shown on the right.

In step S33, an outlet is selected with a mouse. Changes the color of the selected outlet from white to red and highlights the selection. S34 displays a message (Is this outlet OK?).

A step S35 decides whether or not it is OK. YES
In the case of (when the designer presses the left button (positive button) of the mouse), the process proceeds to S37. If NO, S
The outlet is switched at 36, and S34 is repeated. It should be noted that if the outlet in the IDF is repeatedly selected, moved, and arranged, and the outlet symbols in the IDF are exhausted, the outlet can no longer be arranged. In this case, as described above, M in FIG.
If the number of outlets connectable to the IDF of the DF definition information 9 can be increased, the number increases.

A step S37 specifies an outlet position. This is specified by clicking the destination to move the outlet with the mouse. A step S38 moves the outlet to the designated destination. This means that the outlet selected by the mouse in S33 is moved to the destination (designation destination) specified in S37 (at this time, the outlet symbol in the original IDF is deleted). For example, in the state of FIG. 4B, the outlet is moved to the position and displayed.

A step S39 displays a message (Is this position OK?). In S40, it is determined whether or not it is OK. If YES, the outlet position information is saved in S41 (the outlet coordinates are replaced with the arranged coordinates in the MDF definition information 9 in FIG. 2 and saved).

In the step S42, it is determined whether or not the processing is completed. In the case of YES, the arrangement of the outlets of the IDF has been completed, and the process ends. In the case of NO, S33 and subsequent steps are repeated. As described above, the outlet can be arranged by moving to the position where the outlet symbol in the IDF symbol is to be arranged on the screen.
At this time, the number of outlets set for each IDF in advance,
When the outlet is arranged, the outlet symbol which is duplicated in the IDF symbol is no longer displayed, and can no longer be taken out and moved. Therefore, it is not possible to take out more than the number of outlets set in the MDF definition information 9 of FIG. 2 from the IDF and arrange the outlets.
It is possible to arrange outlets quickly and accurately.

A step S89 displays a message (Is this position OK?). In S90, it is determined whether or not it is OK. In the case of YES, in S91, the outlet position information is stored (the coordinates of the corresponding outlet in the distribution board definition information 19 in FIG. 10 are replaced with the arranged coordinates and stored).

At S92, it is determined whether or not the processing is to be ended. In the case of YES, the arrangement of the outlets of the switchboard has been completed, and the process ends. In the case of NO, S83 and subsequent steps are repeated. As described above, the outlet can be arranged by moving to the position where the outlet symbol is to be arranged in the switchboard symbol on the screen. At this time, if the outlets are arranged by the number of outlets set in advance for each switchboard, the outlet symbol that is redundantly displayed in the switchboard symbol disappears, and can no longer be taken out and moved. become unable. Therefore, it is not possible to take out more than the number of outlets set in the distribution board definition information 19 of FIG. 10 from the switchboard and place them, and to arrange outlets quickly and accurately without causing a situation in which a placement mistake is violated. Becomes possible.
